The Prison Ministry Program is a volunteer-based ministry that responds to the spiritual needs of those who are incarcerated in Alabama prisons and jails. It assures that spiritual support is provided by trained volunteers on a regular basis in all prisons in Alabama; develops and implements strategies for training and supervising volunteers; and promotes the U.S. Catholic bishops’ documents and strategies regarding prisons, detention centers and the death penalty.
