On December 6, 2001, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel featured an article on Jamyi Witch, the new Wiccan chaplain at a Wisconsin Prison. "Out of 1,200 inmates at the institution, 30 are Wiccan, 400 are Christian, and the rest are either non-religious or practice other religions, including those in the Islamic and American Indian traditions, said Gary McCaughtry, the institution's warden. McCaughtry said about 10 people were interviewed for the civil service position, which does not require ordination or a theological degree. Witch's interviews, references and background propelled her into the top slot. One selling point was that Witch has extensive knowledge of alternative religions, having previously made presentations on the topic to corrections officials... The Wisconsin corrections system has 36 chaplain positions, said spokesman Bill Clausius. 'Times have changed,' he said. 'It's not just Catholic and Protestant anymore.'"
