Latin America and the Caribbean
Prison Fellowship International's family of ministries across the Latin America and Caribbean region serve prisoners, ex-prisoners, their families and victims of crime.
Regional Overview
In 1972, the first APAC prison was established, combining restorative justice with faith-based practices to create an environment that reinforces prisoner dignity while promoting personal change. There are now 103 APAC prisons thriving throughout Latin America. Ministries in this region have developed programs that support the families of prisoners and the communities affected by crime, a testament to the dedication of those who have seen Christ’s transformative power in prisoners’ lives.
