Chaplaincy Program

The Chaplaincy Program at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center operates under the direct supervision of the DOC Statewide Chaplaincy Program. The goal of the Chaplaincy Program is to provide opportunities for prisoner reformation through religious programs, spiritual counseling, and pastoral care.

The Chaplaincy Program is affiliated with national and statewide religious programs and is in the process of networking with other state institutions with consistent, ongoing structured opportunities for religious practices, spiritual/moral development, and pastoral care.

The Hiland Mountain Chaplaincy staff consists of one chaplain (Chaplain Blodgett - left), three volunteer part-time female religious counselors, and two inmate assistants. The Chaplaincy is affiliated with the Kairos program and ongoing international prison programs. Inmates have access to religious books, religious videos, religious DVDs, religious music, greeting cards and religious schedules are posted throughout the institution.
