I would like to go back and do it again with others and be able to follow their progress through the penal system. The guy reading the newspaper had a promising basketball career and was in college on a scholarship. He decided "things" weren't happening for him fast enough monetarily, so he decided to start selling drugs. He ended up in a shoot out with police, killed an officer and will spend the rest of his life in prison. He was only 24 at the time.

I think we all need to get more involved in trying to bring these guys to Christ and help them turn their life around. I also believe most of these guys do think "the man" is out to get them and that the Govt owes them something. It's seems like most of these prisons are just revolving doors and that being a criminal is now become a profession. Thanks for bringing to light a issue we all like to try to keep in the dark.Chris Barnettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871244573451849070.post-8791389293733207172009-04-23T16:27:00.000-05:002009-04-23T16:27:00.000-05:00Thank you.

Leon had a horrible attitude and wanted to blame everyone else for his lot in life. At some point, we have to accept and take responsibility for our actions.Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098889966764684721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871244573451849070.post-66304224538700536672009-04-23T15:54:00.000-05:002009-04-23T15:54:00.000-05:00There is something to be said for taking a hard lo...There is something to be said for taking a hard look at people like this. I have a tendancy towards mercy when it comes to the worst of criminals because "but for the grace of God go I" and other stuff like that. People make little choices throughout their lives that make them who they become. I did not wake up a full time elevator parts guy and part time student minister. And these guys didn't wake up who they were either. Good post.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241878982997424040noreply@blogger.com
