In mid-September I ventured down to South Louisiana to visit and tour the Louisiana State Penitentiary, monly known as Angola Prison. mentary this week “Angola Prison, Moral Rehabilitation, and the Things Ahead” is based on that visit. Burl Cain, Angola’s warden, will be featured in an ing issue of Religion & Liberty. I will be providing more information on Angola and my time down there, but think of mentary as an introduction of sorts to what I witnessed.

A portion of the ing interview with Cain will reflect upon Chuck Colson. That good things are happening at places like Angola are in a large part directly related to Colson and his legacy and work on behalf of Prison Fellowship. I’ll have a lot more to say about Angola, but when you study in-depth the history and mystique of this prison, for it to change like it has, you know God is present.
