I congratulate Correctional Services on that. I am part of the system to an extent, since chaplains are contract employees. I think that a lot of effort is being made in this regard. However, we should really focus on people with mental illnesses, isolated people, battered women who at some point take revenge on their husbands and end up in prison.
So, a new community needs to be formed. When we say “covenant community,” we are referring to a community in which we live in harmony with each other.
Just appearing today before you is more intimidating for me, someone who is used to working with hardened criminals, than dealing with people behind bars.
