Undocumented feature of the Prison Ministry

[Guest guest]

Indeed, it is a very sophisticated search, much more than it says on the page.

 

Ministry or correctional Institution can be found by state, zip code, town and

by using all search options together.

 

Here is what I've learned by simply applying my programming knowledge to this

search engine.

 

First, no need to go to the bottom of the page and click " Search! " button with

your mouse. Just press " Enter " on the keyboard.

 

By putting " * " ( shift+8) in any search field and " Enter " you can get a

listing of all ministries where they have any information in the corresponding

field. For example, put * in the field " Magazine " , Enter, you will get search

result of 66 ministries (as of today) who publish newsletters or magazine. The

same with " Books " and all other fields.

 

On the bottom of the page - field " Search by category " . By selecting any of the

categories and simply pressing Enter, you will get all ministries involved in

the specified activity. Say, you have selected " Pen-Pal ministries " . As of today

we have 54 of them. By selecting " Category " and a state or town you will find

all ministries of this activity in a certain area.

 

Here is more. Put zip code, press " enter " . Here you'll find a list of all

ministries and institutions in the specified area.

 

Someone that you want to contact, or ask chaplain to visit with him, is in

 

inmate_institution County Correctional Institute

 

inmate_addr 627 XXXXX Road

 

inmate_city Dallas

 

inmate_usa_can_state Texas

 

inmate_zip xxxxx

 

inmate_country United States

 

 

Put Dallas in the " City " box, press Enter. Here is a list of INPM'ers in this

area.

 

By doing combined search " Dallas " and selecting " Aftercare " in Category you will

get all Aftercare ministries in Dallas.

 

And finally, there is a link on the bottom of the form page.

 

" Send search results to your friends and partners " - by pressing it you are able

to send your search results to all your address book.

 

At last, if your own ministry, outreach or institution is not listed yet, go

Enjoy!
