Captive Audience

In my inbox today is a press release from Mel and Annie Goebel, founders of Daughters of Destiny, a Christian organization whose mission is to "empower volunteers to reach incarcerated women for Christ and to disciple them while in prison and after release."  The couple, both formerly incarcerated, issued the press release to extoll the growing trend of women in prison coming to Christ.  They claim, "Currently, approximately 850 trained volunteers provide on-going ministry in 25 states for 3,711 inmates in 203 detention facilities and for 3,488 women who have been released from prison. This Full Circle Ministry then encourages women back in their communities to help other women in need."  There are more than one million women in prison in the U.S.  The Goebel's don't go into detail about what kind of discipline they bring to women.
