The Isaiah 61:1 Project, Jail/Prison Ministry

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO:

When they are released, ex-offenders frequently have no where to go, no one to help them and no knowledge of the abundant resources available to them within our communities, leaving them feeling hopeless and desperate. We form relationships with them & their family (if they have one) through our Mentoring Program, then connect them with the necessary tools they will need to help ensure a successful re-entry into the community or a recovery center upon their release. This results in a much greater chance of success without recidivism.
