Prison Libraries Pulling Books On Faith
Chapel-run prison libraries are pulling certain unapproved books on faith, fearing that they may fuel recruitment for militant religious groups. What do you think?
Kevin Barker,
Small Appliance Repairman
"I guess I'm not that worried about religious fundamentalists in our jails because they're in our jails."
Tom Connelly,
Fundraiser
"That makes sense. Those big religious books are often hollowed out by prisoners to conceal smaller banned books."
Taffy Reiflin,
Convict
"Now I'll have to wait eight to 10 years to find out what happened to Jesus."
