WHO WE ARE
We exist to take the Gospel of Jesus behind prison bars, so prisoners find transformation out of their sins.
Our mission
Each year, people like YOU proclaim Jesus to prisoners.
American Rehabilitation Ministries honors God’s calling to minister to those in prison through ARM Prison Outreach International. Its programs are designed to proclaim the love and message of Jesus Christ to the incarcerated both domestically and internationally…to help lead them into a saving and personal relationship with the Savior, to build them up in the faith, and to equip them for a lifetime of faithful service to the Lord’s Kingdom. You are the kind of person teaming up with ARM Prison Outreach to flip the script behind bars.
Together, we are not just talking about hope- we are delivering it, straight to the heart of the mess. How? Check this out:
- We have shipped 1.8 million Bibles into 3,172 prisons--think about that, stacks of Truth hitting prison cells nationwide.
- We have enrolled over 800,000 incarcerated men and women in our Bible studies, allowing prisoners to wrestle with the big questions of life and eternity.
- Oh, and 130 million DaySpring greeting cards? They're not just paper--they are lifelines, letting inmates scribble hope to the families they are fighting to reconnect with.
- There are 1,977 baptisms in prisons across the U.S., dunking nearly 45,000 souls a year into new beginnings. That is not a stat—that is a Kingdom of God movement.
This is the Gospel on the move; you can be a part of it.

“My name is Michael and I was arrested on murder charges on Christmas Day. I was sentenced to death in California and South Carolina….”
Michael has been walking with Jesus on San Quentin’s Death Row for more than 30 years. Let that sink in for a moment – he’s been more than three decades living for the Lord in a place many would think of as God-forsaken. He mailed a letter from San Quentin State Prison, and it begins like this...

meet edward
“Thank you for sponsoring me to take the Christian Doctrine course. The opening chapter on love spoke to me. "
Edward, like Michael, is a convicted criminal who met Jesus in prison and is striving to grow by studying God’s word. The same week that we heard from Michael, Edward wrote:
“Thank you for sponsoring me to take the Christian Doctrine course. The opening chapter on love spoke to me. The lesson on Heaven gives me hope for the future. To know what awaits me on the other side… truly amazing! The lesson on the evidence of our pardon provided me with more hope. I deal with a great deal of guilt and shame daily. Knowing I am forgiven and pardoned through Jesus is a true blessing.”
“I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
Matthew 25:36
