Social Support Key For Religious Conversions In Prison

Social Support Key For Religious Conversions In Prison This article is about prisoners who have found religion in prisons. It tells that if the inmate has the support of a religious community, religious members of his family, the chaplain, avoiding the negative, and prison volunteers, then his religious conversion is a life altering experience for the better. But then the article goes on to speculate that many be education, life skill workshops, behavior groups, etc., may have the same affect.

Well, duh..........

Combine the two.

I would think that the religious inmate would be very open to any form education, to change his life. One of the biggest factors to me seems to be "avoiding the negative." If you are walking the straight and narrow, then you have to avoid the gamblers, druggies, pornography, and sex clubs, and, as one of my "cloistered brothers" says, self manipulation.

It takes divine grace to stay on the right road in a dark place. Pray for those in prisons who struggle to belong to God.
