Prison Fellowship is a national Christian nonprofit based in Lansdowne, Virginia, focused on serving people affected by incarceration—both those currently behind bars and those who have been released—and their families while advocating for justice and human dignity. It employs a multi-faceted approach that engages inmates, church partners, and prison administrators to foster transformation. Its programs span in-prison ministry, family support, reentry assistance, and advocacy in the public square, with each effort designed to reinforce the others. The organization was founded in 1976 by former Nixon aide Charles Colson. It operates through a network of churches and partnerships to carry out its mission and influence prison culture, family outcomes, and policy discussions around humane treatment and second chances. A recent development noted in 2024 indicates Stand Together Foundation expanded online programming for the Warden Exchange, increasing participation.
