Hope Beyond Bars

At Second Chance Prison Ministry, we believe in the inherent dignity and purpose of every individual, regardless of their past.

Located in Memphis, TN, our faith-centered approach offers outreach and encouragement to those behind bars, helping them rediscover hope and direction. Through personal relationships, compassionate support, and the transformative power of God's Word, we aim to foster spiritual growth and restoration.

Ms. Barbara Dycuss started Second Chance Prison Ministry 40 years age. She wanted to assure individuals regardless of background have a second chance.  She passed away two years ago, and Cleveland Jones took it over continuing the mission of the ministry.
