Situations of Prison Inmates

“Where is justice… When I was thrown with my small child outside the house in the middle of the night to die, I had nowhere to go.”

“God created me to be a beautiful bird… But now I am in this cage. Someday I want to be free again.”

"I believed I was good for nothing. Having done the beautician course, I now believe I can survive outside prison and make a life for myself and my family.”

— Woman inmate, Bengaluru Central Prison.

“We never thought that there would be anybody who will bother about us. We are forgotten by the world outside, some of us even by our own family members. We cannot believe we are being heard.”

PROJECT PEHEL

A Criminal Justice Initiative to help individuals in prison to reform and rebuild their lives.

At the beginning of 2016, we began to work with women prisoners to rehabilitate them and prepare them for reintegration with their families and society at large. The project since then has grown leaps and bounds and we are thankful for all who have made this possible.

In general, prisoners are viewed in fear as criminals or those requiring no mercy. But we forget they are humans, who often end up in prison because of wrong handling of conflicts that turned violent or their life circumstances culminating in an offense or a moment of losing self-control and committing violence, or even being wrongly framed.

Our Focus

Peacemakers Trust has been working primarily in the areas of prisoner rehabilitation (criminal justice) and peacebuilding (conflict resolution workshops), addressing harm through healing, dignity, and reintegration of justice-impacted persons.

Climate sustainability has emerged as an expanding area of work. This expansion grows organically from our rehabilitation programs, where recycled paper crafts and stationery training have long been part of vocational skills development. From correctional facilities to classrooms, our work reflects a simple conviction: peace is sustained when both people and the planet are cared for.
