However, since not all crimes are such that life imprisonment is required, does it not make sense that a rehabilitation where possible should be permitted? For every prisoner that accepts Christ and turns their life around and comes out of prison to live a life that is changed and good for society, we should rejoice and applaud. I doubt that Barry Lynn and the group for separation of church and state become alarmed by the number turning to Islam or various other religions.

NO actually they are predators and that is why there are in jail. They are in the system. You lose everything including your rights when you get in the prison system. The sad fact is some people enjoy that life style of being a predator. But I see your point. FWIW Doesn’t their welfare mean anything?
NO
