The rise of #Islamist #prison gangs becomes even more #revealing when contrasted with #ChristianPrisonMinistries such as #PrisonFellowship.
Both #encounter #inmates searching for #identity, #forgiveness and belonging. But what they teach—and what their teaching produces—could hardly be more different.

The prison authorities are enemies. #Violence can be justified. Status belongs to the strongest, and #protection is offered in exchange for conformity.
