Christ is the most important thing that you can give anyone in this world. Those of us (mankind) who are forced to live outside of society for a period of time as punishment, are extremely receptive to the Gospel. Most inmates have been trying to live life "their way" and have realized that it has wound up costing them their freedom. They are usually at the lowest point of their life.

Most of us view Felons as people who "need to be where they are" and are content throwing offenders away into places where they don't have to be thought about. In actuality, over 80% of inmates are incarcerated as a result of drug or alcohol abuse. The majority of the rest are simply uneducated, misinformed, products of an indifferent society that doesn't take thought of human well-being until it is too late.

But of course, there are people who have simply hardened their hearts to what is right and good for society and just don't deserve the same freedoms that we enjoy. But these make up less than 1% of the jail/ prison population.
