Sometimes when we hear of an inmate in a difficult or dangerous situation, we reach out to a chaplain. In other cases, a Mom or Dad really needs a chaplain to check on their daughter or son that has sounded dispondent. In one recent case, a chaplain was able to confirm that the incarcerated persion was receiving treatment for recently diagnosed cancer, and TJP raised the issue and the inmate was released so he could receive treatment on the outside while awaiting disposition of his case.
