Download or read book Prison Chaplains on the Beat in US and UK Prisons written by George Walters-Sleyon, PhD and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about prison chaplains and their care for aging, dying, and dead prisoners in the penal systems of the United States and the United Kingdom. Since the 18th century, prison chaplains have served as priests and pastoral caregivers to prisoners and prison staff. The book traces the historical roles of prison chaplains in developing the managerial aspects of prisons, focusing on their presence, best practices, and ways of conceptualizing their prison experiences in the modern prison cultures of the United States and the United Kingdom. While prison chaplains have historically provided care to prisoners, prison chaplaincy after 1970 has transformed. This book shows how prison chaplains face new challenges in caring for prisoners under the penal policies and practices of mass incarceration. Prison Chaplains on the Beat demonstrates how prison chaplains have conceptualized the practice of providing pastoral care to aging, dying, and dead prisoners in the United States and the United Kingdom through a person-centered approach. The book is both theoretical and empirical. The empirical aspect focuses on the prison experiences of 31 prison chaplains from the United States and Scotland. The theoretical aspect provides a conceptual understanding of the multi-faceted roles of prison chaplains in the United States, Scotland, and England and Wales. As a research in comparative criminal justice, it argues that prison chaplains are fundamentally indispensable to prison management practices and managerial theories in the United States, Scotland, and England and Wales post-1970. “Powerfully combines historical and empirical approaches to religion in prisons. Brings new understanding of the pastoral and prophetic roles of prison chaplains and launches a searing ethical critique of mass incarceration. The comparisons between the United States and Britain are instructive for current and future prison policy in both locations.” Dr. David Grumett, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, UK “George Walters-Sleyon’s *Prison Chaplains on the Beat* offers a new perspective on the predicaments of contemporary penal politics and practices, especially their racialized harms. Chaplains are both observers of and participants in the contemporary prison scene, and their perspective is a special, but hitherto under-reported one. By reconsidering our carceral condition through this lens, Walters-Sleyon illuminatingly re-states the moral and political challenges of mass incarceration.” Dr. Richard Sparks, School of Law, University of Edinburgh, UK

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having served churches for thirteen years as pastor and having completed five quarters of a clinical pastoral education (CPE), I was able to use those experiences to relate to inmates in a helpful way. The one big difference is, in many instances, church members have not been caught by the law or put themselves in a position to be of interest to the law as a result of their choices/actions.To former church members, CPE supervisors, CPE peers for helping to mold me for prison ministry, I say thank you! Because of their patience and encouragement, I became a better listener, empathizing more than sympathizing, listening to their pain, frustration, etc., rather than trying to fix them. In listening, by giving my full attention, looking at the person in the eye while one is talking, and giving occasional feedback as to what I perceived the individual is feeling. Sometimes the feeling feedback was accurate, and sometimes it was not. Hopefully the individual felt he had been listened to and heard.

Download or read book But I Get to Go Home at Night written by Clyde Davis and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Catholic chaplains; the hundreds of men and women who spend a substantial amount of their waking hours ministering in a place few people want to go, the nation's detention facilities. The This inmates they serve must be there; the chaplains are there by choice. Because of their perceived selflessness, chaplains are often treated with an admiration and respect beyond their due. I always put this admiration and respect into perspective with the words, "But I get to go home at night." The intent of the book is to encourage others to assist in some way in this important ministry. No matter what they have done, inmates are also God's children. God desires their salvation as much as He desires ours. You will initially be taken on a journey that leads to the call to be a chaplain. You will enter a county jail and then a California state prison. You will come to realize that a chaplain does not bring God into the prison, He is already there. This book is full of experiences that illustrate God's presence, love and mercy. It shows how inmates often become teachers, rather than students. I guarantee that this book will change your perception of detention facilities, inmates, and prison staff. Sit back and open your mind and heart. I hope you enjoy the experience.

Book excerpt: How does a holy God associate with paedophiles, murderers, drug addicts, alcoholics and others rejected by mainstream society? This book is a product of many years working with and in some cases befriending the most despised people in society, prisoners. It addresses questions such as: Why do some people end up in prison? Do they just wake up one morning and think: ‘I am going to rob a bank today’? What happens when they get to prison? How do they cope with the violence? Is rehabilitation a realistic expectation? How can victims of crime be helped and supported? Ideal for outsiders, volunteers and others helping out with prisoners. Contains wise advice based on years of experience. Places imprisonment in a Christian context. Captures the essence of why some people end up in prison. Reviews (of the 1st edition) 'Exceptionally insightful, not to say riveting. There is good theology too and difficult issues are addressed with great humanity. The lavish presentation makes the book especially accessible and invites further reading and reflection'-- Michael Hirst 'Handsomely-produced... a handbook for future prison chaplains, Opening the Doors is indispensable, beginning with the first day on the job, the processes involved and the nexus between prison, community and justice system... Rarely is the inner world of prisoners offered with such detail and precision... Every reader will learn something new... whether it be the day-to-day life of chaplains or searing insights into the spirit and nature of humanity itself, drawn from unsparing reality. Ultimately it is Gill’s sheer honesty and those of the prisoners themselves that remains with the reader.'-- Dr Toby Davidson, lecturer at Macquarie University, Sydney, editor of Francis Webb’s Collected Poems and author of the critical study Christian Mysticism and Australian Poetry 'Knitting together stories and facts about the prison experience to provide an insight into this world, and a helpful guide to anyone wanting to work within it'-- Catholic Record 'The book itself matches what a day working inside of prison is like. For example: the language is coarse and honest; the stories are jarring and emotive; the artworks and layout keep you guessing as to what is going to be around the next corner. Gill’s reflective poetry interspersed examines the role and the emotions of the chaplain... Gill’s book should be a guide to prison chaplaincy as it gives a window to humanising the dehumanised. The book reminds us that there is a person behind the wall, isolated and hurting, who needs peace and grace: without diminishing the effect of their actions or the damage caused to others and the need for justice. The stories that are included are varied and poignant'-- tasmaniananglican.com.au 'Raw and real, confronting and challenging, brutally honest tinged with touches of humour, and provides the reader with a valuable insight into a prisoner’s life... The book is beautifully produced, colourful and easy to read'-- crosslight.org.au 'A timely and realistic introduction to, and insight into, a system that most people are not exposed to... Paul’s book is a passionate and accurate insight into life on the inside. It looks at the process of incarceration and its effects on people... This is a good book and highly recommended'-- The Melbourne Anglican ‘This attractively colourful edition shines a light not only into the depths of prison life but into the innermost thoughts and feelings of its inmates. A powerful account, occasionally confronting yet laced with humour and pathos… It is raw and real, confronting and challenging, brutally honest tinged with touches of humour, providing the reader with a valuable insight into a prisoner’s life behind the razor-wire… beautifully produced, colourful and easy to read’-- Reverend Graham Wright, Senior Prison Chaplain for the Anglican Diocese of Perth

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Prison Chaplain's Ministry" by Dr. Maxwell Shimba is a profound exploration of the unique and essential role that chaplains play within the prison system. Drawing on his extensive experience and deep theological insights, Dr. Shimba illuminates the daily lives and responsibilities of these spiritual leaders. The book reveals how chaplains serve as beacons of hope and compassion in an environment often marked by despair and isolation. Through detailed narratives and comprehensive analysis, Dr. Shimba demonstrates how chaplains provide crucial spiritual guidance, emotional support, and practical assistance to inmates, helping them navigate the challenges of incarceration and find paths to rehabilitation and reintegration. One of the key themes in the book is the transformative power of faith within the prison context. Dr. Shimba shares numerous case studies and personal testimonials that highlight how spiritual engagement can lead to profound personal change. Inmates who participate in religious services, counseling sessions, and faith-based programs often experience a renewed sense of purpose and hope. The book details how chaplains facilitate these spiritual experiences, creating safe spaces for inmates to explore their beliefs, seek forgiveness, and embark on journeys of personal growth and transformation. Dr. Shimba also delves into the historical evolution of prison chaplaincy, tracing its roots from early religious institutions to its modern incarnation within contemporary correctional systems. He highlights key milestones and influential figures who have shaped the field, providing a rich historical context that underscores the enduring importance of chaplaincy. This historical perspective not only enriches the reader's understanding of the chaplain's role but also emphasizes the continuity and resilience of spiritual care within the prison system. Training and preparation are critical components of effective chaplaincy, and Dr. Shimba offers an in-depth look at the rigorous educational and practical requirements for this vocation. He outlines the theological education, pastoral training, and specialized courses on corrections and criminal justice that equip chaplains with the skills and knowledge they need. The book emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development, illustrating how continuous learning and adaptation are essential for chaplains to meet the evolving needs of the prison population. The book does not shy away from the ethical and moral challenges that prison chaplains face. Dr. Shimba explores complex dilemmas such as balancing confidentiality with safety, navigating dual loyalties between inmates and prison administration, and respecting the diverse religious beliefs of inmates. Through thoughtful analysis and real-world examples, he provides insights into how chaplains can navigate these challenges with integrity and compassion. The discussion of ethical issues adds depth to the reader's understanding of the chaplain's role and highlights the moral fortitude required for this work. Community outreach and support are also central themes in the book. Dr. Shimba emphasizes how chaplains extend their ministry beyond prison walls, engaging with communities and supporting the families of inmates. He discusses the importance of building strong partnerships with faith-based organizations, social service agencies, and educational institutions to provide comprehensive support for inmates and their families. This holistic approach to chaplaincy underscores the interconnectedness of spiritual care, community support, and successful reintegration. In "A Prison Chaplain's Ministry," Dr. Shimba calls for greater recognition and support of prison chaplaincy as an essential component of the criminal justice system.

Download or read book A Prison Chaplaincy Manual written by Donald Stoesz and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manual provides a rationale for chaplaincy by using Winnifred Sullivan's three categories of religious secularism, irreligious secularism, and areligious secularism to outline the essential and transforming value of spiritual care services (preface, introduction). The manual provides a history of justice initiatives and chaplaincy services in a Canadian context (chapters one and two). The manual provides a rationale for spiritual care-giver training by showing how chaplaincy courses at a university level can build on the competencies of leadership and core knowledge that many ministers, rabbis, imams, priests, nuns, and other faith group representatives have. Emotional intelligence, professional practice skills, and diversity are additional competencies needed for spiritual care-givers to become effective prison chaplains (chapters three to six). Six principles shape the content of this book: (1) integration of chaplaincy into corrections (chapters three to six) (2) understanding of prison dynamics (chapters seven to ten), (3) complementary use of sociology and psychology (chapters eleven to fourteen), (4) provision of faith formation, rites and rituals, programs, pastoral care, and a ministry of presence (chapters fifteen to eighteen), (5) ecumenical and multi-faith religious accommodation (chapters nineteen to twenty-one) and (6) professional development (chapters twenty-four and twenty-five). The manual concludes with a statement of best practices by Dr. Thomas Beckner, long-time chaplaincy educator (Correctional Chaplains: Keepers of the Cloak, p. 24). "Chaplains are to have highly polished counselling skills, strong management and facilitation abilities, a working knowledge of various faith group requirements . . . and a strong commitment to serve all residents of the institution regardless of their faith identity or lack thereof."
