Abstract

The article discusses the importance of restoring dignity and justice to the incarcerated during the Jubilee Year 2025, as called for by Pope Francis. It highlights the need for tangible signs of hope for prisoners who are often deprived of freedom and respect. The practice of a jubilee year, rooted in Jewish tradition, emphasizes liberation and consolation, echoing the mission of Jesus to bring good news to the poor and oppressed. The article also suggests practical ways for individuals to support incarcerated individuals, such as becoming pen pals or donating to bail fund networks. [Extracted from the article]
