- Title
FAITH-BASED PRISON PROGRAMS.
- Authors
SUMTER, MELVINA
- Abstract
The editorial comments on faith-based prison programs and research on the effectiveness of religiously-based programs in rehabilitating prisoners. O'Connor (2005) suggests that research has failed to examine how religion can influence behavior or be a social control mechanism and that the results have limitations since they do not use random sampling and seldom investigate causality. Research by Camp and colleagues (2006) focused on the Life Connections Program that was created by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
