1363...Do You Know Where Jesus Lives?

Apparently he lives in prison.

The headline could be "Kill The WFDS Now" but the Vancouver Sun decided to go with "Faith-based prison units proposed in Manitoba, Langley; Advocates of program say it entails a separate prison wing where inmates are taught Christian biblical values".

You say tomato I say stab me.

I digress. Because, like all of the right wing law and order initiatives brought forward by our beloved Conservative government, it has worked so incredibly well in America, they have zero crime there now, save the odd cop shooting, Prison Fellowship International is proposing to bring faith based, Christian faith based, prison units to prisons in Langley, British Columbia and in Manitoba.

The Christian slant is, of course, pissing off the other religions. Wahida Valiante, national president of the Canadian Islamic Congress "I have a real issue with ... taking a certain part of prison, and saying this is where we have these Christian prisoners so we provide them with specialized services..."

Personally I think that what the system that Prison Fellowship International would be introducing into the prisons would make them like the Catholic high schools of my youth. With less violence, of course.
