The chapel is the only quiet place in prison and many do come just to get out of their cells - or to communicate with others on different wings, or create a good impression. All sorts of reasons but often they do listen.Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-17342711793806612062013-04-09T14:48:22.558+01:002013-04-09T14:48:22.558+01:00I was talking to a friend about his time in prison...I was talking to a friend about his time in prison, which wasn't easy, he served a very long stretch for something that after he had been released he was finally and firmly shown to have been not guilty of.

But he was talking about working with prisoners and saying that most just "take the piss" seeing it at time off the wing etc. Another friend said - "maybe but we plant a seed, why do you think you are here". He raised his tea cup, laughed and said "fair point" - he is one example of the efforts of people like you do bear fruit in timeFurtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-9286908879042091732013-04-08T21:35:55.785+01:002013-04-08T21:35:55.785+01:00Dostoevsky once said/wrote
