The International Commission of Catholic Prison Pastoral Care finds its roots in an international Congress, convoked on behalf of the Secretary of State, by the future Pope Paul VI, in the Holy Year 1950 in Rome with the participation of prison chaplains-general from many European countries, the United States of America and Argentina.
In 1954 a second Congress took place in Fribourg in Switzerland. After this congress several meetings were held at irregular intervals. The purpose of these meetings was to support prison chaplains and bring to the Church a greater awareness for Prison Pastoral Care.
In 1972, the third Congress was held in Rome. It became obvious that continuity was needed. The Commission required Statutes and a Charter.
In 1974, the "Internationale Kommission der Katholischen Gefängnisgeistlichen (IKG)" was established in London and Statutes were adopted in accordance with Swiss Civil Law.
In 1983 in Strasbourg a special Charter was adopted. Other Congresses were subsequently held in Munich 1977, Madrid 1985, Vienna 1987, all in Western Europe. In 1990, in Rome, Episcopal Conferences from Africa and South America joined the Commission. In Bovendonk 1993, Warsaw 1996 and Mexico 1999 the Commission saw membership grow in more than 100 countries over all the world. At that time, the Commission really became the International Catholic forum for Prison Pastoral Care.
During the Jubilee Year 2000, the Executive Board, on behalf of the Commission, applied for ecclesial recognition as Public Commission of the Faithful. For this reason its Statutes were adjusted and the name is "International Commission of Catholic Prison Pastoral Care".
In the same year, the Commission was affiliated to the United Nations as a Non Governmental Organization in special consultative status.
