Why Kairos Volunteers Shouldn't Advocate

What is advocacy? Advocacy means writing a support letter, writing or attending the Parole Board/hearing, going to any court or judicial hearing to show support, giving an inmate money {directly or indirectly}, or even doing a favor for an inmate - to name a few things. please know that when someone advocates for an inmate by representing them {verbally, written, or by presence}, that by is very nature involves becoming an advocate opposed to the Department of Corrections {DOC) or the Department of Juvenile Justice {DJJ}- We serve at the invitation of the DOC/DJJ and nothing we do should put our ministry in jeopardy. The Kairos Inside Manual {page t13 #29,, the (Kairos Outside Manual {page 7 #9} and the Kairos Torch Manual {page 6 #6} all say that we should always be only advocates for Christ. The Kairos Inside Manual states that we serve under the Warden and their rules (page 10 #9).

They recruit, train and issue certification and identification cards to volunteers.
