Jesuit Prison Education
Working in prisons has been a priority for Jesuits since the beginning of the Society of Jesus. Many Jesuits have “served time” on both sides of the prison bars. Jerome Nadal, one of the early Jesuits and close companion of St. Ignatius, pushed for Jesuits being in the prisons. He said, “that we accept (this) from God… the care of those whom nobody is caring for even if there is somebody who ought to be caring for them.”
Prison education helps people who are incarcerated feel human again. Please show your care for the imprisoned by using the form below.
