Prison ministry
Prison ministry resources
Directories by topic—parole, jobs, packages, communication, aftercare, and churches. Choose your state once, and each directory will open to it.
What this is, and what it isn’t
What this is. A free, informational directory for families, churches, and friends walking alongside someone in prison or coming home. It gathers public information about parole resources, jobs, packages, communication, aftercare, and churches into one place, organized by state.
What this isn’t. It is not legal advice. We are not attorneys, and this is no substitute for the parole officer, the facility, or a lawyer. We are not affiliated with any state corrections or parole agency, or with any church or ministry listed here, and a listing is not an endorsement or a promise of help.
Please verify by phone. Phone numbers, rules, vendors, and programs change, sometimes without notice. Before you rely on something here, call the agency, facility, or church and confirm it.
How can we help?
Pick a state first, and then you can ask your question.
