Life as an Offender - Religious and Spiritual Programs

The Department is committed to ensuring that the religious and spiritual needs of offenders are appropriately met consistent with necessary security, health and safety requirements. Institutions are staffed with a Chaplain and programs are supplemented with religious volunteers.

Religious services foster values and practices which are supportive of healthy and positive lifestyles and relationships, especially with families. The Department makes every effort to provide opportunity for each offender to practice the religion of his or her choice in a fair and equitable way.
