Through the stories of two prison chaplains - one Protestant and one Catholic - in France's largest prison, Fleury-Mérogis, we get a glimpse into the reality of this unique experience. They invite you to reflect together on the loneliness of foreign prisoners with no ties and on the question of forgiveness. This workshop will be structured around your questions.
