Prepared Place Ministries, a 501(c)3 organization, trains and inspires people — inside and outside of prison — to support the restoration of women affected by incarceration. We equip women, correctional leaders, and volunteers to make prisons more rehabilitative places; we advocate for a more restorative criminal justice system; and we collaborate with churches, nonprofits, and local service providers to support former prisoners, their families and their communities.

TRANSFORMING LIVES ONE WOMAN AT A TIME
Prepared Place Ministries believes that every person is made in the image of God, and that no one is beyond His reach. That means there is hope for restoration and healing for prisoners, their families, victims, and all those who have been impacted by crime. Through biblically-based programs and a positive community, those who once broke the law can be transformed and mobilized to serve their neighbors, replacing the cycle of crime with a cycle of renewal.

" This program and these women helped to transform my life. Words cannot describe the love I have for them and the work they are doing. Class does not end at the end of the cycle. These women stick with us and follow through. They continue to impact our lives daily. I cannot thank God enough for these women.
