At TROID, we are currently working to revamp our Muslim Inmate Assistance Programme. Each month the centre receives letters from incarcerated Muslims from across the United States and Canada. Most of the correspondents are Muslim converts who are in need of basic assistance. From the common help requested:
- Qur'aan (Arabic/English)
- Prayer Mats
- Books (New/Used/Damaged)
- Pamphlets/Articles (from reliable websites)
- MP3 Audio (Loaded onto MP3 Devices)
- Compasses (to determine general direction of Qiblah)
- Counselling (moral support, friendship, enquries and assistance)
- Questions Answered (coordinated with a student of knowledge)
- Liaison with Chaplain Services (For lessons, library and Advice on Needs of Muslim Prisoners)
The needs are great, the requests are many. However, this is a project which has lay dormant for some time. Al-Hamdulillaah, we now have the human resources in place to coordinate this important project and we are looking for cooperation from the Muslim community locally and internationally to help facilitate our Muslim brothers and sisters behind bars. We receive upwards of ten letters a month and expect this number to grow with the success of the programme in shaa' Allaah. Coordinating the needs of Muslim inmates is a mainstay project of The Reign of Islamic Da'wah (TROID) which dates back to the 90's, we hope to jumpstart this project, seeking the help of Allaah firstly, then your kind support.
What's needed:We need to establish a budget of $10,000 per year (approx $830 a month) to provide the aforementioned needs.

In order to streamline the Muslim Inmate Assistance Programme, we are now focusing our attention of raising funds for these mini-library kits. Our hope is to get these libraries into as many institutions as possible. We had a goal of $10,000 per year, in 3 months, we we have raised $1500 approx. which leaves a goal of $8500/yr which would cover 113 mini-libraries, or potentially 30-40 institutions in shaa' Allaah.If you would like to sponsor a package, please paypal $75 (or $75 x how many mini-libraries) to info (@) troid.ca
We have created a forum section to discuss, update and reach out. Visit the Prison Da'wah Outreach section today and read some sample letters we receive: http://www.troid.ca/index.php/forum/prison-da-wah-outreach
We ask Allaah to make it a success.
