Why We're Here...

When women are released from prison, they face overwhelming obstacles. Most have nowhere to go other than a rescue shelter or back into the unhealthy environment from which their path to incarceration began.  Most have no means of financial support; and statistics show that 64 percent have less than a high school diploma^*.

No home.  No job.  No friends.  No family to turn to.  And most tragic of all...68 percent end up being arrested again within five years^**.

“For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone and has not another to lift him up!”

Ecclesiastes 4:10

Who We Are...

Prison Aftercare Christian Ministries (PACM) is an inter-denominational, inter-racial organization of men and women, who, motivated by their love of the Lord Jesus Christ and in obedience to His commands, have joined together to connect with the church for the purpose of providing Christian transitional assistance for women.
