The Recovery Course for Prisons
We are excited to offer The Recovery Course for Prisons, a version specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of those in custody.
Having both been involved with The Recovery Course for many years, we saw the need to adapt the course to better suit the prison environment. While we have worked with the course in churches, we understand that prisons require a different approach, and so we’ve made adjustments to the materials to ensure they’re impactful in this context.
Steve brings many years of experience as a trainer in the prison system, while Jo has been involved since the very first Recovery Course was run in a prison. Of the eight men who took part in that first course—each persistent and prolific offenders—seven remain outside of prison today, continuing their recovery journey.
We pray that The Recovery Course for Prisons can offer the same life-changing support to men and women in prisons who are desperately seeking help
