INSIDE - Prison
F.A.V.A.R Prison Training The "INSIDE" is a world within a world. It has rules all of its own which must be respected at all times. We always abide by the rules and regulations of the prison. The volunteer must always remember his / her purpose. It is his or her responsibility to remind residents of the prison about a more abundant life that awaits on the outside. Our endeavor is to set captives free, open blinded eyes and deliver people from bondage. |
IMPORTANT POINTS ON ENTERING
1) Be prepared to pass through a scanner. 2) Remove all items from your clothing. 3) At times a strip search may be required. Do not allow such a request to offend. 4) Always be courteous to the staff. 5) Be prepared to surrender your driver's license and try to remember your tag number. It may be required. 6) No cell phones or sharp objects (fingernail files, pen knives, etc) are allowed. 7) Always follow the instructions of the duty officer. |
DO
1) Be polite and courteous. 2) Exemplify a spiritual attitude at all times. 3) Smile. 4) Have a word in your heart to encourage, uplift or motivate. 5) Listen! For some, having someone to talk to heals. DO NOT 1) Bring food or drinks into the prison. 2) Wear excessive jewelry. 3) Carry a cell phone, pager or other electronic device. 4) Leave the group without a guard's consent. 5) Pass notes or receive anything from a prisoner. Anything you get from an inmate MUST come through a guard. There are no exceptions. 6) Give personal advice or opinions on the inmate's personal or incarcerated situation. 7) Embrace inmates of the opposite sex. 8) Be stand-offish, show fear or carry yourself in a manner that in any way makes inmates feel inferior. |
CONDUCT
Our role and responsibility is to restore lives, regenerate minds and set captives free. We are blessed to be allowed to go INSIDE to make a difference. Never forget! Your conduct and attire must be exemplary. You are a representative of God and F.A.V.A.R. More important, if either is at all questionable, the inmates we seek to help may lose focus on our message. Let the inmates see that you are there in the sincerest service of love solely for their benefit.
