Hey, us conservatives are involved in this too. If you don't give them a chance they definately will go back to old ways. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABUT THE PASTOR INVOLVED IN THIS!
I have worked with 8 guys. None have gone back to prion yet although I think one will eventually because he has link up with a women doing drugs. One has stayed strong in his faith and is definately going to make it. They rest have stayed out of prison although they have stumbled a couple of times.
I work with a guy who has 6 houses full of exoffenders and it is his goal the save the state a million dollars by keeping guys out of prison. I think he will be good on his word.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP THE SITUATION!
You may not like my opinion, however, I believe that we have a higher degree of responsibility to our law-abiding citizens, to keep them safe, then we do to a two-time woman killer.

Killer Confesses in Bid to Return Home, Cops Say - Texas Convict Wants to Serve Sentence in Maine
ETNA, Maine -- James Rodney Hicks, convicted last year of trying to kill a 68-year-old woman in her Texas home, didn't much care for the idea of spending the next half-century locked up in a Lone Star state prison, authorities said. If he had to spend the rest of his life behind bars, Hicks told authorities, he preferred to do it in his home state of Maine. Even if that meant confessing to two unsolved murders, authorities said. Hicks' relationship with state police in Maine began in 1977 when he was charged and convicted of killing his first wife, Jennie, who was then 23, McCausland said. Her body was never found. Hicks served nearly six years in prison for the slaying, McCausland said. After his release in 1982, authorities say, Hicks met a woman, Jerilyn Towers, then 34, at a Newport bar. The last time anyone saw Towers alive, she was walking out of the bar with Hicks, McCausland said. Although investigators suspected that Hicks might have had something to do with her disappearance, they had no evidence and he was never arrested, authorities said. Hicks again turned up on police radar screens in 1996, when his longtime, live-in girlfriend, Lynne Willette, 40, vanished. Police suspected that she, too, might have been the victim of foul play, but they had no proof. When Hicks decided some three years ago to move to Texas, there was nothing police and prosecutors in Maine could do to stop him, authorities said. The cases remained stalled until last year, when Hicks was convicted in Texas of attempted murder after he broke into a home. On Tuesday, authorities recovered the first set of remains, buried in a shallow grave at a house Hicks once rented in Etna, McCausland said.
Have been involved in various aspects of prison ministry for almost ten years - have been blessed to witness some miraculous transformations, and of course the other side of the coin is heartbreaking reverses.
Satan works over-time to keep souls from slipping out of his grips, and the bottom line is that we have free will and either believe the "father of lies" or reject him and claim victory through Jesus.
BTW - there is nothing at all "Liberal" about me - I am what is considered (by the MSM) to be a "right-wing fundamentalist nut-job".
I commend you for your efforts but I think a double murderer deserves to be executed, not rehabilitated.
I sincerely hope that none of your guys or your friend's guys have killed multiple times.
