From Incarceration to Influence

Cameo found himself locked up in a juvenile detention center as a teenager. He was “facing some pretty heavy charges,” but found that God’s transformative presence wasn’t bound by bars and fences. He got involved with a Breakaway Bible study and discovered a life-changing relationship with Jesus. He eventually went back to the inner city with a new purpose in life. Today, Cameo is using his musical talents to influence young people with the hope of the Gospel through Christian hip hop.

Juvenile Detention Center Ministry

For nearly 30 years, Breakaway Outreach has been offering chaplaincy services and mobilizing communities to minister to the needs of incarcerated youth and their families.

Our missions network connects caring individuals and church groups with opportunities to serve youth and families impacted by incarceration. We offer training and resources for volunteers to communicate the Good News of God’s unconditional love and mercy—engaging young people as they are met in a variety of youth-serving institutions (detention centers, probation, correctional facilities, group homes, residential treatment centers and emergency shelters). These valued relationships are sustained through ongoing involvement as they re-enter their communities.
