This book examines how prisons meet challenges of religious diversity in an era of increasing multiculturalism and globalization. Social scientists studying corrections have noted the important role that religious or spiritual practice can have on rehabilitation particularly for inmates with coping with stress mental health and substance abuse issues. In the past the historical figure of the prison chaplain operated primarily in a Christian context following primarily a Christian model. Increasingly prison populations (inmates as well as employees) display diversity in their ethnic cultural religious and geographic backgrounds.
