For the last few years I have been following what is happening at the prison in Angola, LA. The changes have been dramatic. Once Angola had the highest murder rate in the U.S. There has not been a murder since the mid 1990’s I believe.
Some notable changes made by the Warden:
Everyone has a job.
Anyone that wants to get a degree in Theology can.
Cursing, among guards and prisoners, is prohibited.
Pornography is prohibited.
Everyone must treat each other with dignity. Guards and prisoners.

You can’t argue with G-d’s base principles. They work.
Gee...too bad we can‘t implement those policies in our culture
