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. |
