Kairos of Lane Murray serves the Lane Murray Prison in a contractual agreement with the Warden and Chaplain. To date, we have done 12 Kairos Weekends. We form teams of Christians who become TDCJ Certified Volunteers. When we serve we become guests of the Units and are given many privileges because we have such a positive impact on the inmates. We accept forty-two inmates per weekend, and put on two weekends per year, in each unit. The selection at each Unit of the residents who are to attend our weekends is made by the Warden and the Chaplain, with input from the Security.

Kairos encourages the selection of leader inmates, both positive and negative. Many times the forty-two participants will include those who are seemingly unlovable. Once God changes the hearts of the residents, we have found that they have a great influence in the environments of their Unit.

It is our privilege to have the opportunity to introduce them to Jesus and then show them the love he has shown us. With "God's Special Time" they have the opportunity to know the Kingdom of God.

Dr. Lane Murray Unit is a women's prison located in Gatesville, Texas (Central Texas). The city has five of the eight prisons and state jails for women operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Read about Dr. Lane Murray.

The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to bring Christ's love and forgiveness to all incarcerated individuals, their families and those who work with them, and to assist in the transition of becoming a productive citizen.
