JustMatters: Modules
Prison Reform: The Church of the Second Chance
Documents: Flyer (PDF) | Registration (PDF) | Online Registration
This module was designed and written by Jens Soering, someone on the “inside,” and does not try to soften the gritty truth of prison reality. Soering introduces the “radical” Christian principle of restorative justice, points out the critical need for comprehensive prison reform, and provides a strong critique of the U.S. prison system. At the same time, he focuses throughout the module on the power of centering prayer and the Christian messages of reconciliation and redemption. This six session module, while focusing on the factual background for prison reform, is grounded in a deep spirituality and sense of humanity. It highlights interviews with long-term inmates and ministers from the “outside.”
Registration for the module is $150. Additional materials costs are described in the modules flyer. For more information, contact Mary Wright at
