Change On The Inside - Prison Fellowship Australia

Change on the Inside provides a space for prisoners to talk about some of the most difficult times in their lives, and begin the process of rehabilitation.

COTI is a faith-based character development course that runs for 6 weeks.

This course covers themes like character, responsibility, self-control, forgiveness, faith, and wisdom. In small groups, prisoners explore these topics together, through teaching, discussions, personal reflection, and a workbook produced by Prison Fellowship Australia.
