All members of Mid-Dlam ghad-Dawl work on a voluntary basis.

Usually, a new volunteer would start by attending an introductory course given by Mid-Dlam ghad-Dawl during the first quarter of the each year. This course deals with the prison system in Malta and the voluntary work related to the prisons. After successfully completing the course, you would be invited to attend for some meetings of the Family Support Group, just to get a closer feel of our field of operation. Later, according to your preference, you would join one of above-mentioned sections.

Hypothetically, on becoming part of MDD, you would also be able to start entering the prisons as a visitor. This, however, depends on whether the prison authorities issue the necessary permit, but it also depends on your age and sex. There are, in fact, various ways of meeting prisoners face to face, and each case would be dealt with individually.

If the introductory course taken at the beginning of your voluntary experience with us is still due, you would be invited to attend the course later.

If you feel you should join us in our exciting experience with prisoners and their families, please do not hesitate to contact us. We shall be very pleased to answer your questions and help you in any way we can. As a start, we invite you to follow our philosophy and principles. Just to get the idea.

Thank you!
