What it says it does
The foundational mission of Breakloose is to facilitate the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord among inmates, and to provide ongoing discipleship throughout their spiritual journey. We hold firm to the belief that our mandate, as inspired by Matthew 25, is effectively fulfilled through collaboration with local churches. This partnership is crucial both for supporting inmates during their incarceration and as they reintegrate into society post-release. The ultimate objective of our ministry is to significantly reduce the recidivism rate, ideally aiming for a scenario where none of the one in three individuals who currently return to prison do so. Our strategy involves a comprehensive transformation through the love of Jesus Christ, facilitated not only through spiritual guidance but also through practical, actionable programs. The goal is that each inmate we engage with emerges from incarceration fully equipped with the tools necessary for success in society.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- In 2023, Breakloose was honored with the prestigious "Volunteers of the Year" award. This accolade was bestowed upon us in recognition of our pioneering efforts and dedication through the sports and kids camp programs. Our innovative approach to engaging inmates and the community through these initiatives has not only enriched the lives of participants but has also set a benchmark for creative volunteerism within the correctional system. The sports programs, designed to foster teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness, alongside the kids camps, which offer a safe, engaging environment for both learning and recreation, have been instrumental in promoting positive change and development. This recognition from Madison Correctional Facility underscores the impact of our volunteer driven efforts, highlighting our commitment to transformative programming that reaches beyond traditional rehabilitation methods.
