The Salvation Army Southern Territories’ Corrections ministries were already a part of Salvation Army programming prior to the opening of the Southern Territory in 1927. One of the best-established outreach programs was in McAlester, Oklahoma at the state prison in the early 1920’s. Visitation led to several inmates to become soldiers of the corps.
Major Fred Ladlow was appointed chaplain the federal penitentiary in Atlanta in 1927, which was the largest federal penitentiary in the United States at the time. He had been a chaplain earlier at the Indiana State Reformatory in Jeffersonville when he was a corps officer in Louisville, Kentucky.
Another correctional service, parole and/or community service supervision, has been quite prominent in the territory in places such as Texas and Florida. The Men’s Fellowship Club got its start in North Carolina in the 1950’s as groups of men who were paroled into the charge of the corps officers there. Continued effort in correctional service today is the bible course since the Word can change the heart and meet the need of released, which offer the probation and residential reentry services as similar to transitional housing program of Florida and death row ministry of Texas.

"At times I feel that God was upset with me on past decisions I have made, but I've never stopped believing. I pray through this Bible Study course I'll connect and get back closer to him."
“It has been a blessing to be able to renew the words of God in my life. There are some spiritual things that I had not fully reflected on as a part of how God wanted my walk in the Lord to be, and with every study I’ve found new ways to walk in the Lord that is pleasing to his sight, and to spiritually fight by prayer nearest evil, so I’m blessed to get this at this time of need where my spirit was drawn by the course of the world by Thank you, Its God.”
“In the wake of all that is going on, these studies have helped to keep me focused on Jesus Christ and his saving power instead of an all the fear that is surrounding us. Please pray that the people who have authority over us inmates be sensitive, receptive and caring about inmates.”
