  Saving Lives from the Inside Out  
  The inside of Virginia's prison system is a vastly different world from the one in which most of us live. But if you think it doesn't affect you, think about this...there are approximately 33,000 men, women and juveniles incarcerated in Virginia today. 90% of these inmates will eventually return to live and work in your community. That fact won't change, but with your help, they might.  
     
  The Importance of Chaplain Service  
 

Since 1920, a non-profit organization called Chaplain Service has changed the lives of thousands of inmates throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. By distributing Bibles, conducting worship services, providing counseling and coordinating volunteer programs, our staff of Chaplains have reached even the most violent offenders through much needed prison ministry.

Chaplain Service's many volunteer programs and religous activities provide inmates with an opportunity to interact with positive role models, and learn how to give, rather than take from society.

The goal of Chaplain Service is to have a full-time Chaplain serving each of Virginia's 31 major adult state prisons and four state juvenile correctional centers. With your help we can accomplish this goal. We can prepare inmates for their release, not as prime candidates for further criminal activity, but as productive, caring Christians in our community.
