Salahuddin oral history interview, 2021 April 22

Chaplain Muhammad decided to follow the steps of others in his family by becoming a chaplain of correctional facilities to pursue a mission of helping and bringing hope to those who are less fortunate than him. In this interview, he discusses how fulfilling this purpose is sometimes challenging partially because of the inhumane conditions and mistreatment in the prison system. He also talks about the importance of the spiritual support that chaplains like him offer to people in prisons.

Chaplain Coate’s first contact with incarcerated people happened when he was in college and started writing letters to people in prisons. He continued developing meaningful bonds with incarcerated people as a volunteer vising correctional facilities every week for over six years. Finding his purpose in serving incarcerated people as a faith-based leader, he decided to leave the Ph.D. program he attended and become a chaplain of correctional facilities. In this journey, he has encountered many challenges but has remained inspired by his service’s contribution to the lives of people he has reached. In this interview, he discusses how his position allows him to see many angles of prisons’ apparatus. These angles include the slow bureaucracy involved in implementing educational programs for incarcerated people, the “wall of silence” among staff to cover their abuses and wrongdoings, and the overrepresentation of African Americans in the carceral population of Wisconsin. Chaplain Coate also reflects on the stigma against incarcerated people that he sees in his Muslim communities in Wisconsin and the conversations that he has with fellow Muslims to dismantle these stereotypes.
