Not in my bucket list...

"When I was confirming our visit, I suddenly felt anxious. Am I doing the right thing? What if a riot breaks out while we are inside the prison camp? What if while at Mass, an inmate reaches out his hand to me for the 'Our Father'?  What if inmates try to converse with me? I had obviously put a label on the people I would visit." A first time visitor shares her experience at New Bilibid Prison...

PJPS Foundation, Inc.

  • The Philippine Jesuit Prison Service Foundation, Inc. (PJPS) is a non-stock, non-profit organization that advocates for a more humane approach to the rehabilitation of incarcerated individuals and their families.  It is one of the official socio-pastoral apostolate of the Society of Jesus in the Philippines.  Since its onset in 1994, PJPS has been responding to the needs of prisoners through its various programs and services.
  • Our flagship project is a scholarship program for children of inmates. Through the years, PJPS has helped these children cope with the harsh reality of having an incarcerated father through education. We are able to do this through the support of friends and benefactors who generously responded to the call of the Lord: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
