Prison Muslim appointment
A SECOND Muslim chaplain is being sought for Whitemoor Prison in March.
The chaplain, who will be offered a salary between 20,277 and 31,447, will be support for the Muslim prisoners in the establishment.
Whitemoor has been in the headlines several times in recent months regarding its Muslim population.
Muslims account for almost half of all prisoners in Whitemoor, the highest percentage in the country.
A prison spokesperson said: "A second Muslim chaplain is required to meet the statutory provisions for the Muslim prisoners at HMP Whitemoor.
"The prison service recognises the positive role faith can play in the lives and rehabilitation of prisoners, and is committed to enabling prisoners of all faiths to practise their religion.
"Each prison has a multi-faith chaplaincy team to meet the religious and pastoral needs of prisoners and staff. Teams include chaplains and volunteers from a wide range of religions and denominations."
