Transformative Solutions Network
- Berks County Jail System contracts with Transformative Solutions Network (TSN) to provide chapel staff, religious services and programs.
- TSN represents approximately 400 Churches in Berks County and works cooperatively with all religious groups to address the needs of the jail community.
- Through this network of churches and religious institutions, TSN provides a myriad of services to the community, including services to incarcerated individuals and follow-up services for them upon release to the community.
- All
BCJS religious programs serve two purposes:
provide opportunities for incarcerated individuals to freely exercise their religion; and
provide opportunities to connect with the community to enable rehabilitation. - There are approximately 32 different programs or services offered each week and there are aftercare ministries in the community.
- The BCJS chapel staff and religious programs are directed by a senior chaplain, staff chaplains, an office manager and religious volunteers from the community.
- For information, or for information about becoming a volunteer, you may call the Chaplain at 610-208-4800 x 4375.
