Pastoration in Prison. Report and Perspectives

Summary/Abstract: Prisons are a special area of pastoral life. Pastoral care in prisons is special by the nature of the institution itself. The limitations of personal freedom reduces the possibility of movement, and the rigid routine of prison life keeps the prisoners in constant tension. This is further compounded by the reduced decision-making facilities and a lack of responsibility and challenges. The prison chaplain has to be the witness of God's free mercy, forgiving love, of goodness and tenderness in an environment where there is hardly any forgiveness. The importance of a prison chaplain consists in continually strengthen the faith and the hope of the closed ones.
