"We don't have to take Jesus to prison; Jesus is there in the prison."
Duke Divinity School's Prison Studies Program gives students the opportunity to engage with people in prison and the system that imprisons them in the context of theological education and formation for ministry.
A highlight of the program is Project TURN, courses taught on-site in a local prison where Divinity School students and incarcerated students learn alongside each other.
Hear from faculty, staff, and students about how Duke's Prison Studies Program has been transformational in their relationship with God.
