Breaking Into Prison A 52-Week Faith-Based Reentry Curriculum of Healing and Self-Discovery Through Creative Ministry and Technological Empowerment by Rev. Christopher L. Jones
For over three decades, Rev. Christopher L. Jones has served in ministry across the church, military, and correctional settings. Inside prison walls-where lives are often dismissed or devalued-Rev. Jones feels called to minister and inspire through empowerment. Breaking Into Prison is the result: a groundbreaking 52-week multi-faith curriculum that blends spiritual depth, creative ministry, and technological empowerment to help justice-involved individuals heal, reflect, and prepare for successful reentry.
Breaking Into Prison is a transformational journey, inspiring restoration through spiritual excavation.
Designed for chaplains, incarcerated peer mentors, faith-based contractors, volunteers, and formerly incarcerated learners, this curriculum also serves men's and women's groups in nonprofit organizations, local churches, and halfway houses-any setting committed to uplifting justice-involved individuals on their reentry journey. It offers:
Weekly multi-faith lesson plans rooted in reflection, spiritual growth, and real-life application
Intentional questions that unlock purpose and promote self-discovery
A framework for mutual trust between facilitators and participants
Tools for integrating technology into ministry without losing spiritual intimacy
Whether used in prison settings, reentry groups, solitary confinement, or across diverse faith traditions, this resource meets people where they are-and walks with them toward where they're called to be. It challenges leaders from all faith traditions to reclaim the wonder of their calling and empowers justice-involved individuals to become ambassadors of reentry hope.
Breaking Into Prison is more than a book. It's a movement. A ministry. A declaration that no soul is beyond restoration-and that healing can break through even the hardest walls.
