Court Reject Iowa's Faith-based Prison Wing

The New York Times has reported that a federal judge in Iowa has ruled that Iowa's Faith-based prison scheme is unconstitutional.

Chuck Colson's InnerChange program is being required to return the $1.5 million taxpayer dollars that it has illegally received to run their "pervasively sectarian" program.

InnerChange and every other proselytizing faith group needs to support itself by volutary contributions.

Here's a link to an article I wrote for Mercer's Baptist Studies Bulletin about this case.
