Prison Fellowship - Rikers Island 2017

Rikers Island is one of the last places you’d expect to hear stories of hope and forgiveness. But in this week’s Insider, Prison Fellowship® president and chief executive officer James Ackerman takes us behind the walls of the notorious New York City jail complex to meet the newest graduates of Prison Fellowship Academy.
“I learned to forgive myself, as well as learn to forgive others,” shares one graduate about his time at Rikers. “I became a better man. I started walking in faith.”
