Inside Ministry and Classes

CJM's active volunteer network provides a variety of services to incarcerated individuals in 4 prisons, 10 jails, and one transition center.

These programs include classes (anger management, creative writing, peer support groups and more), prison ministry, and the pen pal program.

Advocacy and Engagement

CJM works to provide information about the criminal justice system and its impact on the community through presentations at schools, churches, and community groups, collaboration with other agencies and groups, and contact with legislators at both the local and state levels.

Vets 4 Pets is a program for CJM housing clients. The voluntary group meets every week to learn business skills and create goods to sell. Vets 4 Pets makes dog treats, dog toys, and other pet-friendly items to sell at local markets and fairs. Proceeds are distributed amongst group members.
