Pastoral Care
"Just as in ever new ways the mercy of God creates fresh opportunities for growing in goodness, so also to celebrate the Jubilee means to strive to find new paths of redemption in every personal and social situation, even if the situation seems desperate" (4-b) Message of His Holiness John Paul II for the Jubilee in Prison 7/9/2000

Social concern
"We are still a long way from the time when our conscience can be certain of having done everything possible to prevent crime and control it effectively so that it not longer does harm and, at the same time, to offer to those who commit crimes a way of redeeming themselves and making a positive return to the society. If all those in some way involved in the problem tried to take advantage of the occasion offered by the jubilee to develop this line of thought, perhaps humanity as a whole could take a great step forward in creating a more serene and peaceful society" (5-b) Message of His Holiness John Paul II for the Jubilee in Prison 7/9/2000

Juridical issues
"People in prison also find it difficult to maintain regular contact with their families and love ones, and structures intended to help those leaving prison in their re-entry into society are often seriously" (6-b) Message of His Holiness John Paul II for the Jubilee in Prison 7/9/2000
