Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution formally honors Prison Fellowship, a Christian nonprofit founded in 1976 by Charles Colson, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. It does not create new laws, funding, or programs, but instead recognizes the organization's history and impact, including its work reaching more than 600,000 people annually through programs like the Prison Fellowship Academy, Prison Fellowship Grow, Angel Tree, and Warden Exchange. The resolution highlights specific achievements, such as the Academy being the first nonprofit program approved as an evidence-based recidivism reduction program under the First Step Act of 2018, and Angel Tree serving more than 13 million children of incarcerated parents since its inception. It affects no specific group through legal mandates, but rather commends the staff, volunteers, correctional leaders, and participants who have been part of the organization's faith-based rehabilitation efforts. As a simple resolution, it carries symbolic weight and expresses the Senate's appreciation but has no binding legal or budgetary effect.
