what has changed is politicians see this as rehabilitative theme, his comment was it is just windowdressing, on the same problem. when i say faith-based, a lot of them are mostly conservative christian groups because churches i set up for this kind of work, they are big mega churches with separate ministries and are often the only church is located near prisons which are often in really rural remote areas so it is not as if you have a glut of unitarians or quakers or wiccans who are practicing in that area. you have southern baptists, conservative nondenominational evangelical christians. i went to the prisons, went to interview people, sat in on classes, visiting different groups that met over a year ago, went to florida and angola prison in louisiana, i went to texas, california, ohio and ideally, it is to spend time with people and understand the world they live in but in prison that is difficult because you are not in prison, limit access, prison by prison, some prisons, move around and talk to people, the prisons have a reminder with me at all times, i could speak to somebody in a room
