REC is a variation of TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) and similar to Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, Great Banquet, and Chrysalis.  REC has been  modified for the prison environment.

A Chrysalis weekend is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers.
