M-A-D Prison Ministry

 If the institution does not have an organized program for matching inmates and visitors, ask the chaplain to match you with an inmate. If there is no chaplain, consult the administrator in charge of visiting and ask for a match.

 People who are ministering inside the prison on a group basis in religious programs are also a good source. They often know of inmates who have no one to visit them or who would benefit from personal attention.

 If possible, exchange a few letters with the inmate prior to your first visit. You will already feel like friends when you meet for the first time.
