"Does this work? You decide. Alabama’s recidivism rates reflect national rates — 70% to 80% recidivism, depending upon which studies are cited. In thirteen years of apostolate from seven different Alabama institutions, of the scores of converts who have returned to the streets our recidivism rate is a mere 1.6%. Some of our converts are happily married to good Catholic women and rearing families."

This is consistent with what the literature has shown time and again: the only really effective rehabilitation programs have a spiritual base.

I am doing time with hundreds of men (1150 in this institution) who see nothing wrong with stealing, public masturbation, homosexual activity, murder for causes they deem justifiable (e.g., being disrespected or stolen from), rape, or adultery.

In my institution, most people would not recognize taxation as a form of theft, or sex education as a statutory rape, but as far as public masturbation, homosexual activity, murder for causes they deem justifiable, or adultery, we are all for it, and we are just your average middle class American suburb.
