Religious Liberty
Action Alert: Prison Chaplains
03/08/2007 07:27 PM
The
Senate Appropriations
Committee
is working on
House Bill
1015,
which funds the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation. The Governor sought funding for
two full-time chaplains for the system, but the
House cut the funding from the bill ($64,000.)
Please contact the committee members and ask them to restore the requested chaplaincy funding. Constitutionally and morally, inmates do not lose their religious liberties after they enter prison. Chaplains ensure that inmates are able, to the extent possible, to exercise their religious liberties and are, therefore, an essential part of corrections system.
"E-Mail Helper" will
automatically prepare a sample e-mail message
for you to send. Try revising it with your own
words. Be sure to include your name! Thank
you.
