prison chaplains
Jail spiritual advisors
Prison chaplains are clergy or religious leaders who provide spiritual care to incarcerated people.
They conduct religious services, offer counseling, and facilitate access to faith practices across denominations.
Beyond religious duties, chaplains often serve as informal mediators and sources of emotional support in an environment where such resources are scarce: The prison chaplain visited him weekly during his sentence.
