When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I note that my research was in the context of hospitals, but your question in fact concerns prisons; however, I have no reason to think that the term used would be any different.

Just as an aside, note that we do of course also have an 'almoner' in UK hospitals, who would presumably originally have had the same function, but who have now diverged into purely pastoral care. Interesting how the word and/or function has changed with time...
| Ah, thank you Tony, a "Visitation Committee" no less. Do you think they have a monopoly? |

Thanks, W/A! Happy New Year! Yes, I didn't doubt it myself, having worked in a multi-cultural hospital, but it was ever so easy to quickly check it.

In the States there is a National Association of Jewish Chaplains, see http://www.najc.org/about/mission and a quick Google shows there are a number of Muslim chaplaincy sites around the world also e.g. http://www.muslimchaplains.org/
The Humanist Chaplaincy Network offers pastoral care to those who do not subscribe to any particular reglion: http://www.humanistchaplains.org/
Hope this helps

| Thank you so much Irene. I obviously move in the wrong circles and have too many instant presumptions about the word "chaplain" |
