Thanks for asking about Alpha for Prisons!
​
Did you know? In 2019, Alpha had been run in over 900 prisons or secure facilities in 46 countries!

Alpha for Prisons is the same content but just in a different context! Which means a few extra things:

1 - Pray, Pray, Pray for your local prison! And 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 - While the Alpha videos & training are the same in any context (church, prisons, etc), there is additional training that our National Office offers for running Alpha in a prison context such as What to Expect, Running Small Groups, Do’s and Don’ts etc. Please contact our Alpha for Prisons Director, Liza Kelder, at liza.kelder@alpha.org.au to arrange this training and discuss next steps.

3 - Keep in mind also that mandatory security training and necessary checks are required and organised by each prison prior to commencement.
