Our Story
The Wayne County Jail Outreach Ministry was created in 2020 to assist the Wayne County Jail in offering returning citizens help and assistance as they return to society. The WCJOM accomplishes its mission in various ways. First, by providing spiritual guidance through regular religious services representing all faiths, religious reading materials, Bibles, Quran and support to the Wayne County chaplain staff. Secondly, we provide short term needs, such as clothes, food and job readiness, which includes employment placement, mentoring and life skills that are essential for a successful reentry into society.
