Often unseen and forgotten, the prison population in July 2019 numbered 82,570; and many thousands of children grow up without a parent while they serve their sentence. The theme for this year is “What does freedom mean for you?”, with the key text as Psalm 111: 9. We asked an inmate and a prison officer from one of our Leicestershire prisons to speak about what “everyday faith” meant to them in their difficult and challenging context. The prisoner wrote: “my everyday faith living inside me this could not become a norm means I feel personally empowered, a for me. God has not only answered prayer in uniqueness of self-discovery. The Lord our rejuvenating my passion but taught me the God is working in me and I feel blessed to be value of his wisdom and power of his word. here. That’s not to say I’m institutionalized. I know that when hopelessness, fear and It’s the very nature that in amongst this sadness overwhelm I can turn to God to find a pain and suffering, there is such beauty at peace which increases my resilience, patient work in me, “I am the potter you are the clay”.
