Security 1 Do Not smuggle anything into or out of the Prison You may not realize that you are smuggling when you bring anything (including posters, letters, notes, etc) in and it goes to a resident, or if your bring such things out from residents. Everything should be disclosed in advance to the administration. 2 No Volunteer can be on a Visitation List Kairos volunteers are not allowed to serve in Kairos and also be on an inmate's visitation list. 3. No Metal or Glass Objects You are not allowed to bring metal (including notebooks with spiral bindings) or glass objects (including food seasoning bottles). Both metal and glass objects can be fashioned into weapons.

Security 4. Do Not Give or Accept Anything from a Resident This includes notes, poems, songs, addresses, phone numbers, magazines, photos, posters, birthday cards - nothing! And, likewise, it is NOT OK to hand any material to a resident. If confronted with a request to take something, always suggest checking it out with security or the chaplain first. That will usually end the request. 5 Do Not Purchase Anything from a Resident Not even through a prison approved procedure. Your relationship is a spiritual one, and it is most significant when money is not involved in any way.

Security 6 Do Not Pass Messages for Residents Never agree to pass messages from a resident to outsiders, or vice versa. You do not know the situation, and you may be passing a hidden message. The residents know that you are not supposed to do this. If you do it once, more and more will be asked of you in the future. It is best to never start. 7 Do Not Mail Letters for Residents There is an approved process for a resident to mail a letter or package. If you take a letter and mail it for the resident, you are assisting in going around the prison's security review of mail.

Security 8 Religious Materials Must Come through the Chaplain All religious materials that are to be given to a resident must come through the Chaplain, who will make the appropriate arrangement to get the materials to the resident after review. This includes devotionals, neat internet stuff, and even Bibles. 9 Honour the Manager's Authority You are an invited guest in the Manager's "house." The Manager has the authority to set the rules and procedures for his/her house. Do not resist or complain about their rules, or you may not be invited back to their house!
