It uses a case study conducted in the Class IIA Women's Correctional Institution in Semarang, Indonesia. In Indonesia, educational and missional ministry in prisons plays a vital role in supporting prison services. This ministry is understood as part of the Christian mandate to serve those in prison, regardless of their religion. Though spiritual development for Christian inmates is also essential, it is important to consider a comprehensive interreligious engagement programme that includes art, creativity, and imagination, including batik-making. Using a postcolonial feminist perspective, this article proposes practices relevant to prison ministry, especially for female inmates. The practices are both educational and missional. We call the interconnection between the educational and missional a liberating third space – a space of interreligious engagement that is relevant for female inmates in Indonesia. date: 2024-05 publication: Journal of International Review of Mission volume: 113 number: 1 publisher: Wiley-Blackwell pagerange: 52-67 id_number: doi:10.1111/irom.12484 refereed: TRUE issn: 00208582 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/irom.12484 citation: Jeniffer Fresy Porielly Wowor and Merry K.
