of taklng drugs in on the paperl. the Chaplaincy there print it out each time and gNe il to the prisoners
afterwards so that they can read the words of the worship son98 and medltste on them. Security is,
understandably. always an issue in prisons. 11 is a ¢hallen9e lo keep up with ch8nging rules about what you

Afso. the seeurty forrns that people havo lo fill in befoio any visits can be made are very time-con8uming.
