I have discovered over the years that many "Grotto-goers" are involved with outreach and charitable works, often without a formal apostolate. I know of at least two people at Assumption Grotto - one a man, and the other a woman - who are active, independently, in prison ministry. There is nothing formal, but if someone at the parish has thought about it, I might be able to put you in touch with them, accordingly.
I have not yet watched this myself, but caught the end of it the other day on EWTN. Fr. Mitch Pacwa talks to some men about their work in this area. It's a full show, so if you have the time, click play, and watch.

Hi Diane...I saw that show as was very touched by those men and their dedication to their ministry. Jesus directly asks us to visit those in prison ..My only struggle is as a victim of a violent crime, I know the impact for those on the outside who spend a lifetime recovering. I just pray that the church expand their mission to include those who really don't have much of a voice in the church. I spoke to my pastor who is in prison ministry about this and even he agreed that their needs to be better outreach..and that ministering to prisoners should not be to the exclusion of victims.
Just some thoughts on a subject close to my heart.
Blessings and +PAX
