Prisoners are generally really lonely and would welcome any conversation just to connect with another human being.  Prisoners are also humans in a very stressful situation and can become needy.  
If I could start from zero, I would talk to them about
family, schooling, work, interests (most prisoners are in for drug crimes and the stalking prisoner is a LifeTime  movie myths).  I Would Not try to help them materially, legally, or even in communicating with their families.  That's not your role and you'll never be able to solve all their problems.  All you can do is show them some [b]Christian kindness. [/b] Good luck and keep in mind that prisoner ministry is not for everyone (but also try to remember that "I was in prison and you visited me").[/quote]

How is Christian Kindness different from kindness from another religion? or from no religion --- just plain old kindness?[/quote]

NP. Are you always this easily triggered?[/quote]
