  • On release from prison many women are friendless, with nowhere to go, and little chance of employment. Unfortunately many return to the familiar life of drugs and crime.

About Us

Prison Network Ministries (formerly Campaigners for Christ Prison Ministries) is an inter-denominational Christian organisation that responds to the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of women in the Victorian prison system and the needs of their children and families.

   

Our staff

  

PNM consists of four staff members and a dozen volunteers who coordinate our programs and work directly with the women. We are also overseen by an independant Board of Directors.
