Hi everyone,
We have all been fielding calls and emails from our loved ones on this issue. As many of you know the "Chaplin" for the protestants there is also a CO, thus making it hard for the guys to trust him. I have spoken in the past with Deacon Sarraga at the Charleston-Wheeling diocese for the Catholic Church prison ministeries. They have priests that have nothing to do with the BoP system come in twice a week and perform services and counseling. I have contacted him, leaving a voice mail as he is not in the office on the weekends. I am sure that he will make sure that an outside minister is made available for our guys to talk with should they want or need to. They do not have to be catholic to speak with him. I will let you guys know when he will or another minister from the diocese will be available so you can pass it along to your guys. They will need to put in a cop-out asking to meet with him.

LeeAnn,
You truly are an angel...no matter what has come up you have always a way to help the situation...thank you so much for everything!
I agree Melanine.
Sam didn't know much about it at all. Just a shame
Mike knew the guy. I don't know how, since he was from Randolph. As you guys know Mike rarely ventures far from his cube to socialize, LOL.
I spoke with Deacon John in Charleston this morning. He said that he was not aware of any incident at M'town. He said it is very important that they get support people in there for the inmates. He said this is one of the areas that needs immediate attention when there is an issue, as it has the potential to have dire effects on the residents. He is going to contact Admin there to find what happened and why his office was not contacted so the proper actions could be taken. He will keep me updated as to what will be done from his office.
