Jailhouse conversions

LANSDOWN, Va. (W.) Oct. 5, 2006 -- In prison, many inmates are set free.

Mark Earley, president and CEO of Prison Fellowship, told WordNews.org that prison time is often a time when people take stock of their lives and make changes.

Mark Earley, president of Prison Fellowship, told WordNews.org that there has been an increase in volunteers helping prison chaplains across the nation.

"A lot of people make fun of jailhouse conversions," Earley said.

But the truth of the matter is people in prison by and large get to the point where they're at the end of their rope."
