Nation's First Faith-Based Prison Opens
Discerning AmCop readers may have already intuited from my Palm Beach Post link that I am currently in Palm Beach County, Florida. I haven't been down here since last year--but clearly the beloved gov'na has been up to some good works. AmCop reader (and phony puppet-master) Guiseppe Abote alerted me to this story:
LAWTEY, Fla. — Gov. Jeb Bush dedicated what he called the nation's first faith-based prison Wednesday, telling its nearly 800 inmates that religion can help keep them from landing in jail again.
Later, Bush told the inmates: "I can't think of a better place to reflect on the awesome love of our lord Jesus than to be here at Lawtey Correctional. God bless you."
