Jail Ministry of Onondaga County- Learn all about it!

Is this Lent the one?

Is your spirit moving you toward doing something different? Challenging? Would you consider going somewhere that you could have never imagined to simply be present and to listen to those who are forgotten and thrown away by our society? Will you choose to follow Jesus’ command to “visit the imprisoned”?

How long have we been doing this? Jail Ministry has been visiting inmates one on one since 1976 in the Onondaga County Justice Center, where 450 people are held in custody every day.

Do the people we visit want us to be there? We only visit people that have requested our support. These individuals are thrilled to have someone visit them. Many have no visitors, ever.

What about my safety? Rest assured that your safety and security are a top priority. We have many measures in place based on our decades of experience visiting.

I have questions or I want to sign up. Contact Keith Cieplicki at Jail Ministry to sign up or for more information. Email jailministry@gmail.com or call 315 680-3466.

You will walk alongside the Christ, disguised as an inmate.
