Sunday's New York Times carries a long article on governmentally-financed religious programs in state and federal prison facilities. The article, Religion for Captive Audiences, With Taxpayers Footing the Bill, is another of a series of articles by Diana Henriques (this one co-authored by Andrew Lehren) on governmental support for religious programs and organizations. (See prior postings 1, 2.)
UPDATE: Sunday's Lawrence (KS) Journal-World reports that likely presidential candidate Sen. Sam Brownback spent Friday night in the Louisiana State Penitentiary to promote faith-based programs n prisons.
