I heard an interview from Richmond's Sheriff this morning about a study conducted at his jail. A VCU doctorate candidate did her (gets me everytime (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006021109398)) dissertation on the effects of a “faith based” program instituted at a local prison.

Green, 44, was a subject of a study that found that Richmond inmates who participated in the faith-based Kingdom Life Ministries/Men in Recovery program had an 18 percent lower recidivism rate than did prisoners in another program. The study also concluded that the program saved taxpayers nearly $8 million over the 3˝-year study period.

So with the links in mind that hooskins posted what do you guys find preferable if recidivism rates and costs were to be equal. A healin’ from Jesus while in jail or an awakening through a short sentence mixed with facilities so posh your wife can pull in design cues from them?

Also im pretty sure the supreme court ruled life sentences for youths unconstitutional.
