VICTORY OUTREACH PRISON MINISTRY

Victory Outreach Santa Rosa visits inmates at the North County Detention Facility, the Main Adult Detention Facility, and San Quentin prison upon request. Our friendly prison ministry staff will council inmates on a one-on-one basis and also have a weekly services held on Thursdays of each week. Our professional contact status within the court system allows us to visit inmates without interfering with the families limited visiting abilities. We also make ourselves available to represent* our program, for inmates that we have been visiting, at the time of their sentencing hearing to help facilitate a transfer of sentencing into our recovery homes if the option is available.
If you or a loved one you know needs help or would like to set up a professional contact visit, spiritual counseling session, or recovery home court liaison to be at your loved ones hearing please call one of our qualified staff members to set up an appointment.
*As Para-church professionals we do not offer legal counsel and cannot advise clients of the best legal course of action. '

I WAS IN PRISON AND YOU VISITED ME

Freedom. It's what every prisoner longs for. Yet, can someone who grew up with the worst the world has to offer ever realize the best? The Victory Outreach Prison Ministry not only shows prisoners a new pathway to personal liberty, but they also walk hand-in-hand with them to insure they'll reach their goal. For those looking at, living in or just released from prison, it's a chance to know a freedom they've never experienced before.

REACHING OUT TO THOSE THAT ARE OFTEN FORGOTTEN

Prison isn't a picnic. That's why Victory Outreach Prison Ministry makes sure that those who are locked up aren't locked out from meaningful fellowship. Their volunteers regularly visit those behind bars. Working with chaplaincy programs, wardens and parole officers, they reach out to those who are often forgotten. They demonstrate, by their presence, the unfailing love that has so often eluded them. These mentor relationships challenge as much as encourage. In short, they become the friend they often have never known. The result: convicts are inspired to turn from a life of crime and embrace the opportunities for their future, becoming productive citizens in our society.

HOPE BEFORE THEY BECOME HARDENED

Everyone knows that to lock up a young person with career criminals almost insures further corruption. That's why the Prison Ministry works hand-in-hand with the court system to provide an alternative to incarceration. First time or minor offenders can come to the Christian Recovery Homes instead of being sent to prison. The Christian Recovery Homes program provides a unique opportunity to help someone before they become hardened criminals, and the justice system is only too happy to let them step in. Given their proven track record, judges, parole officers and prosecutors have worked with the Prison Ministry for years.

A PLACE EX-CONVICTS CAN CALL HOME

They did time in prison. But when they're released, an ex-convict often still has to serve out a terrible sentence: returning to the environment that helped to corrupt them in the first place-the same drug dealers, pimps and old "friends" who still want to use them. They're forced to survive by the rules of the street. Is it any wonder that so many ex-convicts go right back to a life of crime? Yet, Victory Outreach Prison Ministry breaks this cycle of destruction through the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They don't just talk about new life; they provide a unique place of discovery. That place... Victory Outreach Christian Recovery Homes. Here, in a spiritual environment, they can discover -- perhaps for the first time -- all that they can be. These Homes are shelters from the harsh environment they grew up in, yet they also serve as an intense training ground. Their program offers both nurturing and tough-love. It's a place of discipline and discipleship. Their faith-based schedule provides a spiritual structure that leads to freedom. Most of all, they give them something they've never known: purpose.
