Input was received from (1) corrections management, (2) inmates, and (3) community officials and groups in completing the analysis. The chaplain was seen by both prison officials and inmates as a person respected by the entire prison community. The best organizational structure for the chaplaincy was seen as one reporting directly to senior management rather than to a program area. Chaplaincy-inmate ratios ranged from 1 to 118 to 1 to 156. All wardens indicated that a decrease in service would be unsatisfactory; one of the three perceived a need for increased chaplain service. Chaplains should be assigned prison duty on a rotating basis, rather than as a permanent assignment. Training should emphasize adaptation to the pressures of prison environments. The program should include field work. The optimal chaplain-inmate ratio is 1 to 150. When more than one chaplain is required at an institution, both the Catholic and Protestant faiths should be represented. Copies of forms and correspondence, tabular data, a training model, and alternate chaplaincy models are included.
