WELCOME TO THE PRODIGAL SON MINISTRIES WEB SITE

Prodigal Son Ministries looks to promote Christian ministry in prison, to care and support young offenders and ex-offenders and to use them in Christian ministry when they are released. Based at Ashfield prison in Bristol, PSM has set up pioneering projects to support young people in prison and help them through the difficult period of reintegration into society.

Prodigal Son Ministries was established by the Chaplaincy at Ashfield Young Offenders Institute, is a registered charitable trust and relies entirely on giving, sponsorship and independent funding.
