administrative personnel to line staff.

**Note: In this textbook, the author uses quotes from inmates which contains

profanity. While the school staff does not agree with the use of this language, the

author is allowing the chaplain student to glimpse the reality of working and

ministering to individuals that are in a dark and sometimes painful place in their lives.

The Principles of Prison Ministry Textbook

Dr. Tommy Seay, Jr. / Dr. Lawrence Burkes

have returned to their churches defeated. The Principles of Prison Ministry serves as a

manual for such teams, giving volunteer chaplains a far better view of what prison ministry

is all about. This course will help navigate you through some of the trouble areas in this

difficult world of prisons.

a thorough "inside-out" view of prison life.

training, aftercare and community reintegration, family reconciliation and restoration.”
