Thanks for asking about Alpha for Prisons!
​
1 - Please check with the Prison Chaplain to see if Alpha is already running in the facility. Chaplains oversee the faith-based programs and help volunteers with the necessary application forms and scheduling.

2 - The Alpha videos & training are the same in any context (church, prisons, etc). The resources are free online and downloadable for all registered courses.

3 - Additional training is required to be a volunteer within the Correctional Service of Canada. Please visit the CSC website for more information. Info here.

4 - If you have any questions, please contact our Alpha for Prisons Director, Sean Wilkinson, at prisons@alphacanada.org.

Did you know?  Alpha is active in 76 federal and provincial prisons across Canada. The rate of re-offence drops significantly when released offenders have taken Alpha and then are connected with a local church community.
