Wright, chaplain at the Georgia Diagnostic Center, was speaker at the Jackson Kiwanis Club meeting Tuesday night, November 21st, and in an interesting and entertaining manna - enume rated some of the duties and responsibilities of a clinical chaplain in Georgia’s newest and most modern prison. The speaker was introduced by Joe Taylor, program chairman. Guests were Mrs. Geraldine Wright, wife of the speaker and Key Club sponsor; Key Club members Rex Smith and James Brown and Mrs. Peggy Mackey. Mr. Wright explained that there are three chaplains presently stationed at the Diagnostic Cottar and that their primary job is as a minister first in an attempt to enable the inmate to seek to build a meaningful relationship with their God. Mr. Wright cited several instances where he was called upon to serve in the role of counselor and remarked on the lonely and helpless feeling that many prisoners experience. He recounted one instance of a prisoner so desperate to make a phone call to his family that the inmate wrote a letter to himself in which he exaggerated conditions at home so that he could obtain Mr. Wright’s permission for making the call. Chaplain Wight explained that during the 6-8 weeks prisoners are processed at the Center they are allowed no visitors and with phone calls allowed only on an emergency basis. He spoke of the attempts to reach the men’s spiritual needs through Bible study groups, counsel, personal inter views, etc. and concluded bis talk by again stating that first and foremost “we are there as pastors.” Three new members were inducted into the club by Frank Forehand, former president of the local club and forma lieutenant governor of the 12th division. The new members and their sponsors are as follows: Joe Brown, Jr. by Frank Forehand; Bobby Mackey by P. H. Weaver and Jimmy Maddox by Harvey Hall. The addition of the three new members brings the club’s total to 42.
