Corrections Community

The Mississippi Department recently received a Supplemental Consent Decree regarding an existing Muslim class action. A new requirement is to train correctional officers on IsLamic Religion and practices. Does anyone have a short module on this subject?

The Chicago Police Department produced a nice DVD on Islam as part of its diversity training for police officers. I unfortunately do not remember who sent it to me, but it was from the Office of Public Information.

We have a DVD , Islam's Place and Practice of Worship in the Correctional Environment, that we can send you. 

Good morning and thank you. NIC is sending me a copy of the DVD.

The State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) site also has a short videoclip entitled "Islam and Arabic Culture" which is narrated by an Arabic police officer. They will send you a free copy of their software on request. www.slatt.org Eric Vogt, Education Specialist, Federal Bureau of Prisons

We have a video made by our religious sergices director. Contact Ron Turner (ron.turner@state.tn.us) for more info. Joe Brodnicki Tn Dept of Correction

Thank you. I will make the contact to get a copy of the material.
