How can one help minister to those in prison?

[wcknight]

According to Jesus, (“I was in prison and you did not visit or administer to Me”) we are to help or administer to folks in prison… how do we go about doing that ?

I know there are prison ministries, but other than donating to those functions, what are our responsibilities to those imprisoned, justly or unjustly ???

put an internet search in and see what you can find.

Most prisons in UK either have ministers there or regular parish priests going in, if not and they do good stuff.

Your own parish priest may tell you too how to get involved that bit more if you want to help out there in that line.

Good question, I make rosaries and I was thinking about mailing them to some prisoners that were Catholic

The best way to do this is to have minister trained to create a peer or buddy system for believers in prison. The lay people then support the minister in his ministry and also provide religious material such as bibles and religious items. Prison can be a very lonely place so having a peer system inside for believers is very good for everyone involved.
