    The second prison: what Second Chance Month means to me

    I’ve been walking alongside men coming home from prison for nearly 40 years. Every April, Second Chance Month gives our community a chance to say out loud what a lot of us already know: the sentence doesn’t end at the gate. The barriers to jobs, housing, and family reunification that Returning Citizens face can be just as confining as incarceration itself. Here in Spokane, SpoFI and Second Chances are working to change that, one returning father at a time.

    SpoFI Sponsors Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Christmas 2025

    Incarcerated parents nominate their children for a Christmas gift during the summer to Prison Fellowship. Prison Fellowship vets the applications and assigns them to churches and organizations near the children. Recipients of Angel Tree gifts are then eligible for a scholarship to attend a Christian summer camp, available annually until they turn 18 or their parent is released.
