What is Voice of Liberty (VoL)?

VoL is an interdenominational ministry in Costa Rica made up of many churches dedicated to making disciples in the prisons of Costa Rica. VoL also works with families on the outside of the prison, assists ex-prisoners with transition to productive participation in the free world, and the church assists in helping with victims of crime. VoL began in San Sebastian prison which is the central processing prison for the entire system. As men await trial and sentencing, they are brought to San Sebastian prison. Many go onto other prisons after they are sentenced. Because of this, the church started by VoL in San Sebastian has spread throughout the prison system. Approximately 400 of the 700 inmates in San Sebastian are part of the Christian church. Other prisons that Voice of Liberty supports are: Buen Pastor (women's prison), Varilla, Reforma, Zurqui (juvenile prison), El Roble, Sandoval, La Leticia, San Carlos and a faith-based prison.
