What Criminal Justice and Mercy Ministries of Oklahoma Inc does
Mission
Through loving, nuturing, and healthy relationships with prison inmates and their families. As an extension of the ministry, cjamm targets sepcific reentry needs, including mental, physical, social, and spriritual. In an effort to break the generational cycles of incarceration, cjamm hosts new day camp, a summer camp for children with incarcerated parents. The programming for camp allows kids to be kids for a week with all their nutritional needs met, a splash of fun, and subliminal messaging to help them say no to drugs, alcohol, and other addictive behaviors of their parents. Cjamm volunteers serve in almost every correctional facility in the state of oklahoma.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Criminal justice and mercy ministries (cjamm) has three major locations - exodus house oklahoma city, exodus house tulsa, and the parsonage house tulsa. These locations serve as a landing spot for those leaving incarceration to begin a fresh, health, and stable new life. The six-month program offers support groups, faith services, community service, counseling/therapy, and guidance on getting employment, reunifing with family, and working with the court system. While in the program, the clients pay rent-equivalent as part of the financial planning. These dollars, minus a small program fee, are placed in a savings account for the clients to use as deposits at long-term housing upon completion of the program. Through donations, the clients also receive a household of furniture and supplies to set up their permanent housing. The current recidivism rate is 3.1 percent for those who complete the program - meaning that almost 97 percent of those graduates never re-offend or are reincarcerated

Approved and badged volunteers pick up the inmates and return them to the facilities at the end of the service. There are educational programs following the service and meal that can earn inmates good-time credit toward their sentence
$41,315 spent7% of program spendingNew day camp is a five-day camp experience for children ages 8-14 who have at least one incarcerated parent or guardian. These children are tossed between extended family members or foster care and are the forgotten victims of crime and incarceration. Philanthropic support, grants, and scholarships allow the children to attend camp where there are social activities, spiritual programs, health education, and lots of food. Many of these children suffer from food deprevation. Transportation is provided to and from camp. Children may arrive with no clothing, toiletries, or bedding. Donors provide all those items for each child to have during camp and to take home with them. That ranges from homemade quilts to a brand new pair of tennis shoes. Children above age 14 may return as leaders in training (lit) for camp to help with supervision and camp curriculum. This keeps the children engaged and prepares them to become adult leaders at future camps. Cjamm maintains regional and local programming for the children throughout the year with other activities in an effort to strength relationships and opportunities for mentoring.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $568k to $1.0M (+78%).
