Chaplaincy Programs
PRISM provides chaplain services to the county facilities, including Twin Towers Correctional Facility, Men's Central Jail, CRDF (adult women's jail facility), Pitchess Detention Center, Juvenile Halls and County hospitals. This expanding outreach includes the California State Prison System. Episcopal Chaplains provide personal spiritual support to the incarcerated and their families, as well as serving the sick and the dying in county hospitals.
In addition, our expanding ministry now includes families of the incarcerated, juvenile justice, community re-entry and victim support.
