Learn More

Day with Dads

A powerful in-prison event where incarcerated fathers reconnect with their children in a safe, joy-filled space. These moments build memories, restore trust, and strengthen bonds that time alone can’t break.

Mother’s Day Program

A one-of-a-kind celebration where men invite their mothers inside the unit for a day of honor, worship, and reconnection. It's emotional, healing, and unforgettable—for both sides of the glass.

Mother's Day Gift Basket Giveaway

Incarcerated men and women nominate their mothers to receive a custom care basket by writing heartfelt letters. Each gift carries a message of love, healing, and hope across prison walls.

Spiritual Restoration

Weekly in-unit worship services and spiritual mentorship help men and women discover their identity in Christ, build community, and experience lasting inner transformation.

Reentry Support

We walk with returning citizens as they rebuild their lives—providing housing, ID recovery, transportation, employment connections, and encouragement every step of the way.

Meet Albert Yancey

Albert J. Yancey III is a nationally recognized speaker, reentry advocate, and founder of Faith Beyond Incarceration (FBI Ministry)—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to restoring the lives of justice-impacted individuals and their families.

At just 17 years old, Albert was sentenced to life in prison. Over the next 27 years, he experienced a profound transformation—earning degrees, mentoring others, and ultimately giving his life to Christ. Behind bars, he discovered his purpose: to help others break the cycle of incarceration through faith, healing, and holistic support.

Since his release in 2019, Albert has led programs inside prisons, reunited families through powerful in-unit events, and helped returning citizens rebuild their lives with dignity. His story has inspired audiences across schools, churches, and state legislatures—and continues to prove that no one is beyond the reach of redemption.
