Moving people from prison to purpose

Prison doesn't have to be the end of the story.

At The Four-Seven, we believe every life has purpose and every story deserves hope. Through meaningful relationships, community connections, and practical reentry support, we walk alongside individuals as they build a future beyond incarceration.

WHY REENTRY MATTERS

Stronger reentry.
Brighter futures.

Every year, thousands of Ohioans return home from prison facing significant challenges. Finding stable housing, securing employment, rebuilding relationships, and establishing a supportive community are essential steps toward lasting stability.

At The Four-Seven, we believe successful reentry benefits everyone. By building relationships, connecting individuals with resources, and walking alongside them as they rebuild their lives, we help create opportunities for stronger families, safer communities, and brighter futures.

INSIDE PRISON MINISTRY

Through weekly services inside Ohio prisons, The Four-Seven brings faith, hope, and encouragement to incarcerated individuals. Our dedicated volunteers lead worship, facilitate meaningful discussions, share inspirational messages, and build relationships that encourage personal growth and transformation.
