Prisons Week aims to encourage prayer and awareness of the needs of prisoners and their families, victims of offenders, prisons staff and all thosewho care, reflected in the Prisons Week Prayer offered throughout the week:
Lord, you offer freedom to all people.
We pray for those in prison.
Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist.
Support with your love prisoners and their families and friends,
prison staff and all who care.
Heal those who have been wounded by the activities
of others, especially the victims of crime.
Help us to forgive one another.
To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly together with Christ
in His strength and in His Spirit, now and every day. Amen.
Could you give today to help Bibles reach those in prison?

Join us in praying that the Bible will be brought to life in England and Wales.
Against a backdrop of widespread Bible indifference, we’re working across society to help adults and children recognise the value of the Bible.
Help us bring the Bible to life for children at school in their primary years. Find out more about Open the Book, and how you can get involved.
Prisoners find freedom through Scripture when jail door slams behind them
Bibles provided by you are being snapped up by prisoners almost as soon as they arrive in prison libraries.
