	Some men's ambition is art. Some men's ambition is fame. Some men's ambition is gold. My ambition is the souls of men. --William Booth

The Salvation Army Correctional Services seeks to stop the cycle of crime by visiting, counseling and ministering to men and women who are incarcerated. Our concern is meeting the spiritual and emotional needs of those who are incarcerated and not focusing the actions that caused them to end up in prison. Through gentle mentoring and fellowship, The Salvation Army Correctional Services strives to illuminate a pathway leading towards positive and permanent change in each prisoner we visit.

Community-based rehabilitation centers are the trend in the field of corrections. Many Salvation Army rehabilitation centers and Harbor Light Centers have served as designated halfway houses where former prisoners can participate in work-release programs. Those convicted of minor offenses often are given the opportunity to accept placement in community service programs at corps community centers and institutions as an alternative to incarceration, or in the last months of their sentences.
