TBN is asking prison facilities to allow it to broadcast four of its channels to prison audiences as part of its "Second Chance" program. The network would install satellite dishes and other equipment for free.
TBN cites research by a criminologist who claims watching inspiring religious television programs would have a positive effect on inmates' behavior and rehabilitation.
Law-and-order conservatives favor the program, saying it will inflict even harsher punishment on the lawbreakers.
OK, that part's not true, but it could be. At a time when our national prestige is at an all-time low over Abu Ghraib, waterboarding and the definition of torture, do we really want the Human Rights Commission looking into whether Jan Crouch's singing is cruel and unusual punishment?

You don't understand. TBN will definitely help the save of rehabilitation. Who wouldn't do their best to get out of prison so they could avoid being forced to watch tripe?
Bishop Ussher, using biblical chronology, found that today, October 23, in the year 4004 BC the earth was created by God. I hope that your blog will celebrate the Earth's 6011th birthday in a suitable manner.
