Volunteering in the jail
Thank you for your interest in serving in the jail. There are opportunities to serve in the jail with your faith community. The best way to get started is to email or call our chaplain. The chaplain will provide you with an application and invite you to the next volunteer training. The training is the best introduction to serving in the jail.
Volunteering in the jail does require a background check. Volunteers serving in the jail, serve only if approved by Jail Administration.
