Here are some of the comments by the DOC Security Staff personnel who attended our training classes:
- Many questions and concerns were cleared up. We need this program in our “Basic Skills” class.
- I came to the class with a closed mind, thinking it would be a forced perspective. I was wrong. The openness and explanations were very helpful and can help us all in dealing with Muslim inmates.
- Helped me to understand Islam. The program was good. The speakers were well prepared.
- Now I know the meaning of some Arabic words that Muslim inmates use. I will not be offended.
- We need Muslim volunteers to visit this institution on regular basis.
- Learning about Muslim Beliefs was what I liked the most. Would like to see more staff receive this training.
