Incarceration Services
We work with the security staff to bring Jesus Christ to the lost, hurting person that is booked into the jail. We hope by the time that person is released we've had a chance to bring Jesus into that person's reality.
​
Due to recent technological upgrades and reexamination of security procedures our ability to pass out materials have been hampered. The Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio has implemented the use of tablets for the inmate population. In an attempt to go paperless; many functions that use to be handed out by us are now available on the inmate population tablet. Bibles and other resources are now available on these tablets
Available services
Here is a list of services offered, when financially capable. This list is in no way exhaustive. We try to stay flexible to the needs of the person.
Bibles
Persons requesting a take home Bible, may find a copy of the Word in their property at the time of release. There is a limited few allowed inmates within the institution allowed paper copies of the Word. Scripture can be found in various translations on the inmate tablet system. We are trying to work with CCNO and GTL to make more translated versions of the Word available.
Baptisms
Every last Friday of the month is a time for celebration, not only in Heaven but on earth. As those incarcerated are offered the opportunity to be born again of the water, and hopefully of the Spirit.
Daily
Inspirationals
We have a selection of daily inspirations that the inmate population are welcomed to read.
​
Daily Breads (standard and special editions)
Upper Rooms
Bible studies
Inmates wishing for assistance in studying or guidance in studying the Word. May ask for Bible studies from the Chaplain and religious services.
Reading glasses
With much special thanks to Lamplighters Ministry, we are able to pass out reading glasses to those inmates who need them.
Release clothing
When requested in advance, those inmates who are going to be released in a season that is not agreeable to their clothing sitting in their pack up. May request to the Chaplain for clothing assistance. The Chaplain has assess to different thrift stores in the area and has a small selection of clothing donated over time.
Sermon services
Due to security and sanitation concerns, certain dorms are allowed sermon services. We work diligently to ensure that no security measures are ever jeopardized for the safety of all persons.
