CJM policies have been developed over the past two decades and have been approved by the CJM Board (the policies as presented on this website were reaffirmed by the CJM Board in February 2008). These policies enable CJM to function effectively, and protect CJM from some of the problems that others have experienced in ministry to inmates and their families. CJM policy on the topics indicated below is described on the linked pages:

​

confidentiality expected from its staff and volunteers
privacy (about information that comes to CJM from website visitors)
use of materials on its website
general operation and practices (chaplain compensation, etc.)
