Prisoners Force-Fed Fundamentalist Christian Propaganda That We Pay For

I have a serious problem with this program, largely touted by the likes of Watergate scum like Chuck Colson, and not the least of my objections is that we as American taxpayers must fund indoctrination of prisoners exclusively for far-right fundamentalist "Christianity".

I applaud the federal judge in Iowa, Robert W. Pratt, who heard a lawsuit on this matter and ruled that this amounted to "unconstitutional use of taxpayer money for religious indoctrination" and ordered that the prison ministry repay more than $1.5 million in funding.
