Faith and Rehabilitation

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Faith and Rehabilitation

The Rev Kate Bottley hears how faith and compassion can help prisoners and ex-offenders.

In Newcastle upon Tyne, the Rev Kate Bottley hears how faith and compassion can support prisoners and ex-offenders in their journey to rehabilitation.

The Rev Kate Bottley hears why faith and compassion are key to supporting prisoners and ex-offenders in on their journey through rehabilitation. 

In Newcastle upon Tyne, Kate visits Junction 42, a Christian charity dedicated to bringing faith into prisons and supporting offenders on their spiritual journey upon release. She joins a team of volunteers packing ‘Stories of Hope’ bags - resources offered to prisoners throughout the UK to help them engage creatively with faith.

In London, the Rev Paul Cowley tells the story of his journey from prisoner to priest and explains how the Bible inspires him in his latest role, helping to find employment for those leaving prison.

And Sean Fletcher visits HMP Winchester, where children’s charity Spurgeons is continuing the legacy of its Baptist founder, Charles H Spurgeon, in providing support for children with fathers in prison. He discovers how their family days, baby-bonding sessions and homework clubs help inmates to maintain relationships with their families and in turn reduce the likelihood of reoffending. One mother explains what it meant to her and her granddaughter to attend these days when her son was in prison.
