Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845) an English Quaker who was a prison reformer, philanthropist and mother of 11!

                                                       Psalm 1: 1a, 2a, 3a  
Happy 
are they whose delight 
is in the law of the Lord. They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing 
fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither


 “Lead us 
by Christ's love, 
& by the example 
of  Elizabeth Fry, 
to serve all those 
to whom the world offers no comfort 
and little help.”


Pray for those who work in prisons 
and for all who are in prison. Pray 
also for the end to for-profit prisons 
in our country which make a profit 
off of human frailty and misery. 

The essence of Fry’s work was the conviction that all prisoners, male 
& female , are fellow human beings 
& ...that treatment must not contribute 
to the the degradation of inmates..."
