I am looking to see if any Jails have in house services for Islamic inmates similar to the Bible study/Pilot Outreach groups for Christian inmates. I would be willing to join by zoom if possible and if the schedules line up.
Thanks in advance

McLeod County does not have any Islamic services at this time.
Scott County will provide Qurans, prayer rugs, and hajib’s for the females. We also work with the Samaha Islamic Center in Shakopee when we have any questions or issues.
Steele County - We have Qurans & prayer mats & kufis. We also provide hajibs for the females when needed. We will provide a prayer time schedule for the current month. We’ve used John Emery at the Islamic Resource Group for a reference when we’ve needed more information on Ramadan or other practices. We have pulled up Jum’ah (Friday midday prayer service) on Youtube when requested, since we don’t have an Imam that works with our jail. This was supervised by Programs staff.
Freeborn is the same as Steele, with the addition of a Sunday time slot in the Program Room to have Peer (detainee) led Islamic Study. They have use of Youtube to watch prayers, documentaries, or anything else pertaining to the Islamic religion.

I haven't used this at DCJ but when I was a social worker in a hospital during COVID we used this for Islamic services, I am not sure they have kept up with it, but if they have it broadcasts at noon central time, every Friday. thenationsmosque.org/live-tv/We also used this YouTube Channel, which broadcasts live at noon daily I believe: www.youtube.com/@jummahmasjidmauritius/streams |
