“If prayer truly works, if our weak human rambling to God actually changes things, then we must call believing people to pray, and together we must pray for change where change is needed most.”

For 50 years, Prisons Week has encouraged Christians everywhere to pray for prisoners and their families, victims of crime and their communities and those working or volunteering in the criminal justice system. 

This year, Prisons Week takes place from 12 - 18th October. Please pray each day during Prisons Week, but also ask yourself if there is one thing that you, as an individual, or as a church, can do to help any of the people for whom you are praying.

The prayer leaflets are available to download here, or free hard copies can be ordered here https://www.prisonsweek.org/contact/
