Prison Fellowship International (PFI) is the world’s largest and most extensive criminal justice ministry – a global association of over 100 national Prison Fellowship organisations. PFI’s Centre for Justice and Reconciliation promotes restorative justice initiatives that work to heal broken relationships, repair the damage done by crime and restore the offender to a meaningful role in society. Sycamore Tree was developed by PFI and first run in Houston (USA), then in New Zealand. It was first run in England and Wales at HMP The Mount in 1998 and has since expanded to run in 34 prisons of all security categories, with more than 12,000 offenders having taken part since its start.
