Prison 2 Praise Ministries


  • Mission

    We equip justice-impacted individuals and their families with faith-based mentorship, job readiness training, and recovery support, breaking the cycles of incarceration and addiction. By honoring crime survivors, restoring trust in our communities, and reducing recidivism, we transform lives through grace, accountability, and the redemptive hope found in Christ. We rebuild neighborhoods through reconciliation and economic empowerment and ignite hope for lasting change.

    About Us

    Prison 2 Praise Ministries is a Christ-centered, trauma-informed reentry and restoration organization serving justice-impacted individuals, survivors of crime, and families affected by incarceration. Our mission is to break the cycles of incarceration, addiction, and generational harm by offering mentorship, life-skills training, job readiness, recovery support, and faith-based healing rooted in integrity, compassion, and accountability.

    We believe restoration is possible for every person. We serve individuals with felony and misdemeanor convictions, those in recovery, and families who are rebuilding after trauma or imprisonment. Our programs: RISE Inside (in-prison), RISE Forward (post-release), and community-based classes teach emotional health, workforce development, responsibility, spiritual identity, and the tools needed to rebuild lives, families, and communities. We also honor victims and survivors of crime by integrating empathy, accountability, and survivor-centered narratives into all our programs.

    Our core values spell RESTORE:

    Radical Redemption, Empowered Testimonies, Sacred Justice, Tenacious Love, Offenders-to-Restorers, Rebuilt Neighborhoods, and Eternal Hope.

    These values guide everything we do, from our curriculum to our outreach to how we walk with people through some of the toughest seasons of life.

    Prison 2 Praise Ministries is committed to serving with excellence, transparency, and love. Volunteers are essential to our mission. Whether mentoring, teaching, offering administrative support, or simply standing with someone who is rebuilding from the ground up, your presence brings hope and dignity to people who often feel forgotten.

    If you believe in second chances, restorative justice, and community transformation, we invite you to join us. Together, we can help people rise.
