Prison Ministry
Free on the inside

The Prison Ministry reaches inmates in the county jails through visits, chapel services and counseling. Our chaplains continue to minister to interested individuals in the prison system by means of a monthly newsletter, personal follow-up and Bible correspondence courses. Upon release, men can enter the Crossroads program, which is certified as a pre-release center. When they are incarcerated, men and women often come to the end of themselves, find true freedom in a relationship with Christ, and make decisions to change their lives.

Each week Staff Chaplains and volunteers from The City Mission visit men and women in the Cuyahoga County Justice Center and other local jails to share the good news of Christ with them. Inmates pray with the Chaplains, receive individual counseling, and are guided in decisions of faith.

Follow-up care is provided in the form of group Bible studies and correspondence materials. The City Mission is approved by the State of Ohio as a prison release facility and receives men into the Crossroads resident program to ease the transition back to the outside world.

There is a growing need in the Cleveland area for ministry to women who are released from the Ohio prison system and have children to care for, as well as many other problems to overcome. As the Angeline Christian Home for women seeks to expand its outreach, and as planning continues on Laura's Home, this need will receive continued attention.
