Our History
IPMW remains grateful to its Presbyterian roots, planted so deeply over 35 years ago:
In 1980, Presbyterians renovated the chapel at North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women (NCCIW), and funded the first female chaplain at that facility, thus establishing the Presbyterian Chaplaincy Ministry.
In 1989, the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women (RCCW) was built as a minimum-security facility. The Department of Corrections invited the Presbyterian Chaplaincy Ministry to relocate their chaplaincy program to the new RCCW facility.
In 2004, the organization was reorganized as Presbyterian Prison Ministry, Inc, a 501c3 non-profit, and in 2013, the name was changed to Interfaith Prison Ministry for Women.
In 2014, the RCCW merged with the NCCIW, and was renamed as the Raleigh Unit of the NCCIW.
