Reaching Beyond the Bars

Episcopalians in the Diocese of Atlanta are putting their baptismal covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being into action by visiting, educating, advocating for, and welcoming home those who are and have been in prison.

Committing to Reform Our Criminal Justice System

Following a national conference on ways people of faith can work to end mass incarceration, Episcopalians gathered at Saint Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta to identify concrete actions to reduce the number of people harmed by our nation’s criminal justice system.
