Change On The Inside - Prison Fellowship Australia

Change on the Inside helps inmates better understand themselves, their values and their beliefs so that they can make choices about which ones they continue with... and which ones they don’t.

Change on the Inside is a faith-based character development course that is run for six weeks, providing a safe space for prisoners to talk about some of the most difficult times in their lives and begin the process of rehabilitation. Covering themes such as responsibility, self-control, forgiveness, faith and wisdom, it employs role play, personal reflection and discussions in small groups as prisoners explore topics together and confront any changes that may need to be made.
