Jail Ministry

Visit the Imprisoned & Clothe the Naked

The Society of St Vincent de Paul — Fort Wayne incorporates two corporal works of mercy, “to clothe the naked,” and, “to visit the imprisoned” into its jail ministry. Allen county inmates are not allowed to bring underwear into the jail. They must buy them from the commissary. Unfortunately, many cannot afford to buy underwear, so the jail ministry supplies them. Over 1200 people are helped by the jail ministry each year.
