I'm not sure how much you can read into this either, Chad. I've probably attended 15 different churches in my lifetime and I've never attended one that didn't have a robust prison outreach program. Most Christians see the prison population as a fertile mission field, and I personally know multiple people who "found God" while they were behind bars. They were at a low point in their life, may have been praying for the first time anyway, maybe to no one in particular. "Help, please let me get through this," etc. And then someone shows up and says "Here's a map for how you can turn your life around and start over... here's redemption." What convicted man wouldn't want to hear that? So, enter the Christian. It happens all the time.Chad wrote:Here is an interesting post about the belief make up of the prison population:

This would be far more pertinent/interesting to me if we could see faith numbers before and after incarceration, and compare the two.
