I would like to see an accredited Reformed Seminary working behind the prison walls.
I know Manny and this has been something he has been pushing for. Is there a way where the degrees will be transferable to say Mid-America once they do get out?
When these prisoners get out and they have a full accredited degree they are hopefully seen more as equals could take their degree into any denomination they choose.

Yet when his conduct was most reprehensible, he was within the bounds of the law; when he boldly preached the gospel, he was imprisoned.The apostle Paul could be considered a convicted criminal,one of the worst ones in his age, but by God's irresistible grace he repented and converted to following Christ.
I believe that if you were probe these men they were not Christians before they went to prison.
