Inmates read Prabhupada&#8217;s books and chant Hare Krsna, but they are craving face to face devotee association, as the following letter expresses:<\/p>\n<p>           \u201cOur chaplain seems to be very helpful, and I\u2019m sure he would be open to any volunteer devotees who wanted to be of assistance. A service or study could be held on a weekly or monthly basis. There is also an evening mentor meeting once a month where a volunteer can meet with an inmate in the chapel for 2 \u00bd hours; that would also be an option, it all depends on the availability of the devotee. I want to learn all I can about Krishna, and would be overjoyed to meet with a devotee face-to-face who would help guide me. I would be eternally grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ricky Jones; Huntsville, Texas<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to volunteer to give programs at this prison, or any other prison, please contact me at iskconprisonministry@gmail.com and I can connect you with devotees who do these programs and can give you very practical guidelines.
