while on a short sojourn in county jail over an obviously stupid series of choices, i noticed the number of "faithful" was a constant majority. the entire dormatory would pace inside and in the courtyard in the counter-clockwise direction, usually discussing their faith as related to their charges. a minority of us, maybe ten, without verbal concensus, began to make our paths in the opposite direction. eventually we all began talking to each other and realized, or verified, we each followed a non-christian belief. this began on beltane and lasted for three days before all of us were released on the same day, under the same circumctances, somewhere someone had lost something vital to the cases. not a single one of the "faithful" were released that day, and many, if not most, of those remaining had new problems arise. yes, i believe a large portion simply paid lip service to their faith, but why were us unrepentant "pagans" the ones freed that day and the "faithful"
punished?

I knew an inmate who got saved on Sunday and got immediate release on Monday. Jesus is the potter and we are the clay, If we believe in Him we will be in Heaven someday the Bible says, I personally believe in the Bible. Jesus has his own perfect will for each one of us, if we will let him he work a work in us that is unimagineable. Someday you are going to have to make that decision to follow Christ or not. He died on that cross for you and me. He died to take away our sins, he was a perfect sacrifice for all mankind. Christmas is almost here, when we remember and celebrate the Birth of Christ by exchanging gifts, what a wonderful time it is, When you remember him during that time, I am praying that you will.

Yours is an isolated case. If a detainee joins a religious group, he is exempted from the list of possible transferees to a worse colony.

As long as you are still alive, no matter where you are, you can be saved. Before they got saved, they were in a different kind of prison and just did not know it.
