The FAVOR Group believes that when our criminal justice system begins to take the healing needs of victims and offenders seriously, and does an adequate job of meeting those needs, only then will victims be no longer so concerned with how much punishment an offender receives. Currently, victims receive little else that feels like Justice. Our society tells us that Justice equals punishment.

Your donation helps Prison Fellowship International repair the harm caused by crime by emphasizing accountability, forgiveness, and making amends for prisoners and those affected by their actions. When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
