Prison and Family Ministry
LSSI’S Prisoner and Family Ministry (PFM) serves those who are incarcerated and their families, as well as individuals who have returned from prison to their communities. Since 1981, LSSI has established itself as a leader in this work, often serving thousands of people annually through our three signature programs:
Re-entry Services
for Returning Citizens
We support returning citizens through a comprehensive program designed to help them transition back into society, including access to our Employment Skills School.
Storybook
Project
LSSI strives to strengthen the relationship between children and their incarcerated parent through reading. Volunteers record parents as they read a book for their child or children. The book and the recording is mailed to the children.
Visits to
Mom
We provide free transportation for children whose mothers are incarcerated and are too far away to visit, along with the children’s caregivers.
Grounded in LSSI’s mission statement, PFM responds to the Gospel and serves our clients by providing them case management, outreach services, legal aid referrals, life-skills activities, and employment-readiness classes.
“Thank you for allowing me to read bedtime stories to my daughters. We truly appreciate what LSSI does for us, and we do not take it for granted.”
– Ian, Participant of Storybook Project
