The Interfaith Coalition of Advocates for Reentry and Employment (ICARE)
was founded in October 2004 to organize a religious response to the
crisis of recidivism in New York State. In the Restorative Justice
tradition, people of faith affirm the intellectual and spiritual
capacity of persons with criminal convictions, believing in the
potential for rehabilitation and reconciliation. ICARE's commitment to
Restorative Justice further takes into account the "Restoration of
Rights" for formerly incarcerated persons. ICARE is advocating for the
removal of barriers encountered by people reentering the community
after prison. The ICARE coalition consists of communities of faith,
direct service providers, and policy organizations.

Prison Fellowship
partners with local churches across the country to minister to a group
that society often scorns and neglects: prisoners, ex-prisoners, and
their families. The focus of our ministry includes fellowshipping with
Jesus (including teaching others to live and look at life from a
biblical perspective), visiting prisoners, and welcoming the children
of prisoners.
