Dear Kairos Family:

Great News: Angola is once again open for visitors and volunteers!

Monthly reunions are still on the first Saturday of each month and will resume April 2. Visits to Death Row for Prayer and Share each Monday will resume next week.

The prison currently requires volunteers to be vaccinated, boosted, and wear a mask. Like all Covid rules, we don't know how those may change over time.

We are also discussing dates for the next weekend retreat to be led by Dr Jeb Broyles as well as the next Death Row retreat. Please prayerfully consider joining those teams.

For those who have all their paperwork in order to enter the prison: Thank you and please prayerfully consider coming to an upcoming monthly reunion to help re-establish our presence.

If you don't know if your paperwork is all in order, please contact me or Mike Ryan and we will confirm the list

For those who haven't done DOC training in the last year, here are the steps to do it online:

  1. Go to  https://doc.louisiana.gov/public-programs-resources/public-information/ and scroll down to the volunteer section.
  2. Follow the website instructions, including: review the documents, watch the video, and fill out the Volunteer Orientation Training Request for Certificate Form.
  3. Email the Request for Certificate form per website instructions. You should receive the certificate back in less than a week.
  4. Print the following 4 forms and send them to Mike Ryan:

• Volunteer Services Training Certificate of Completion

• Volunteer Registration and Agreement Application

• Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct with Offenders Volunteer-Intern-Contractor Acknowledgement Form

• Rules and Guidelines for Volunteers or Guests Form
