How to Request a Rosary and Get Religious Support at T. L. Roach Unit
If your loved one needs a rosary at the T. L. Roach Unit, the process starts inside — they'll need to submit an I-60 form to the chaplain. Here's how it works and who to contact for outside support.
Rosary requests at the T. L. Roach Unit go through the unit chaplain. The process is simple: the offender submits an I-60 form directly to the chaplain.
- Fill out an I-60 request form - this is the request the offender uses to ask for a rosary.
- Address the I-60 to the unit chaplain - the chaplain is the person the request needs to go to.
- Send the I-60 and wait for a response - once it’s submitted, the next step is the chaplain’s follow-up through the unit process.
Note: The only documented method is an offender-submitted I-60 to the unit chaplain. There's no confirmed family submission option, special address, fax route, or guaranteed timeline - check with the unit if you need specifics.

Delays Next Steps
