Coping with a loved one in prison is hard,
but you are not alone.

Mary Mother of Captives Support Group...
for those with a loved one in prison, on trial
or about to be sentenced to prison.

A Support Group for family and friends who have a loved one in prison, on trial or about to be sentenced to prison. MMOC meets in Northeast Philadelphia and surrounding Counties, ministering to the frustrated, forgotten and innocent victims (the inmate's family). MMOC is open to all regardless of race, creed, color or national origin and is free of any dues. ALL INFORMATION IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Our aim is to eventually have support groups in all sections of Philadelphia and the suburbs.  Together we can overcome an antiquated and failed system.  Numbers are the only way change can happen.  Change is needed in the manner in which the incarcerated and their loved ones are treated by the Department of Corrections.

MMOC now has four monthly meetings: one  in the Philadelphia area and one each in Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties.

I was in prison and you visited me...Matthew 25:36
MMOC has a Pen Pal Program for those who  would like to visit an inmate by mail. Encouraging inmates to use the time of incarceration both spiritually and educationally, and to help improve his/her writing skills. COMPLETE ANONYMITY GUARANTEED. 

Mary Mother of Captives (MMOC) is a non-profit501(c)(3) organization.
