Contact Information	Description
International Network of Prison Ministries http://www.prisonministry.net/	offers free web pages for prison ministry groups. They also privide an extensive directory of several dozen prison ministry groups at http://www.prisonministry.net/directory/index.htm This index can be sorted by location, type of ministry, etc. I checked the links to several ministries I'm personally familiar with. Unfortunately, a lot of the information is out of date. They've done a lot better than I have in collecting links to various ministry groups! Until I find more time to contact these ministries, I recommend that you use this index to help search out ministries relevant to you.
