“I cannot do all the good that the world needs.
But the world needs all the good that I can do.”
-- Jana Stanfield
American Correctional Association
For more than 146 years, the American Correctional Association has championed the cause of corrections and correctional effectiveness. Founded in 1870 as the National Prison Association, ACA is the oldest association developed specifically for practitioners in the correctional profession.
The American Correctional Association shapes the future of corrections through strong, progressive leadership that brings together various voices and forges coalitions and partnerships to promote the concepts embodied in its Declaration of Principles. The American Correctional Association provides a professional organization for all individuals and groups, both public and private that share a common goal of improving the justice system. |
American Correctional Chaplain Association
Much like our colleagues in the military and at hospitals, correctional chaplains provide pastoral care to those who are disconnected from the general community by certain circumstances – in this case to those who are imprisoned, as well as to correctional facility staff and their families when requested. Where permitted, we also minister to the families of prisoners.
Each correctional chaplain is also a representative of his or her faith community and is required to be endorsed by their denominational body in order to qualify as a chaplain. Correctional chaplains are professionals, with specialized training in the unique dynamics of the corrections world. Most serve as full-time correctional facility employees or part-time contract employees. "Chaplains are important in a correctional setting because they help offenders develop a healthy attitude toward themselves and staff in the prison where the offenders are incarcerated; Chaplains help offenders develop a positive spiritual reality regardless of religious preference and they help promote spiritual growth that will assist in an orderly transition from a prison environment to the outside community." |
Each year thousands of Florida citizens just like you, contribute thousands of hours of valuable service in Florida prisons. The involvement of volunteers is highly valued by the Department. It is an opportunity that is both important public service and personally rewarding experience.
Volunteers help the Department to deliver better programs and services. They bring a variety of skills and display an exceptional brand of engaged citizenship. Many volunteers help offenders become more productive, educated, self-sufficient, and law abiding citizens. You must complete a volunteer application and pass a basic security clearance before you are scheduled for volunteer service. The Department has a four hour training and orientation session that you will be asked to complete. Florida Department Of Corrections Volunteer Training Manual |
