Prison Fellowship Academy
Prison Fellowship has expanded their Faith-Based housing unit program, Prison Fellowship Academy, to Allen Gamble Correctional Center in Holdenville, OK. Prison Fellowship Academy (PFA) is an intensive 12-month program. Prison Fellowship Academy replaces criminal thinking and behaviors with renewed purpose and biblically based life principles. Inmates are housed on the same unit, allowing them to build a community to support and reinforce change.
PFA is offered at Lexington Correctional Center, Mabel Bassett Correctional Center, Dick Conner Correctional Center, Great Plains Correctional Center and now also at Allen Gamble Correctional Center. Here is a link to a video about this program expansion: https://youtu.be/7dCWiaatygk?si=qKRvDgk4wQ1JS-4h Prison Fellowship in an international Faith-Based organization that partners with local churches and people of faith to offer life changing programs in prison, jails, and to ex-offenders reentering society.
