About OutreachTV
OutreachTV was founded with a mission to provide inmates with inspirational and educational content delivered directly to their cells. We aim to encourage and uplift men and women who are seeking growth in their lives, offering messages of hope, transformation, and faith.
Our programming is designed to inspire personal development, spiritual growth, and a renewed sense of purpose, helping individuals navigate their journeys toward a better future.
To support this mission, we’ve developed a secure media delivery system that brings OutreachTV’s content directly into correctional facilities. Our custom-built module integrates with existing television systems and is updated remotely through an internet connection. While the system uses the internet for updates, inmates never have internet access or control over it, ensuring complete security and compliance with institutional protocols.
This platform allows us to continuously deliver high-quality, pre-approved content, including sermons, educational programming, original music, and messages of encouragement.
We are also developing new tools that will allow prison administrators and wardens to communicate directly with inmates through their televisions. These features will support the broadcasting of facility-wide announcements and emergency updates, along with administrative controls to approve and manage the content shown.
By combining secure technology with a heart for ministry, OutreachTV is helping reshape the way prisons deliver connection, communication, and positive transformation to those behind the walls.
