With a growing prison population and less money to work with, the correctional system is in desperate need of a revolution. Since the prison system was established, religious groups have always been willing to help prisoners. In today's society, faith-based programs have taken a leading role in realizing prison rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Faith-based programs provide economic benefits, reduce recidivism, and reduce crime. This work examines several faith-based programs in the prison system, but focuses specifically on a study conducted by The Life Learning Program. The prison population in the United States has increased over the last 40 years to combat crime. “Today, more than 1 in 100 adults is in jail or prison nationwide” (Henrichson 2012). For taxpayers, the amount spent on prison has quadrupled. There are more than 1.5 million inmates incarcerated in all 50 state prison systems. The average annual taxpayer expense for an inmate is $31,286. The cost per inmate varies from state to state from $14,603 in Kentucky to $60,076 in New York. Approximately 95% of offenders are reintegrated into society and 2/3 of them are likely to be repeat offenders. This is a discouraging statistic that requires motivation to seek new avenues that can provide moral change to prisoners. The United States has implemented religious education for prisoners after the increase in corrections. Now most inmates attend faith-based programs, which are paving the way for rehabilitation and reintegration into jails and prisons. In recent years there have been numerous budget cuts that have caused programs in the correctional system to decline. Faith-based volunteer programs have established their role in the correctional system with...... middle of paper ......tion of women. Gilligan's research on women, In a Different Voice (1982), produced a model of stages of moral development based on responsibility and care for self and others rather than justice. ” (Swanson 2009). Moral development is what is right or wrong according to the values ​​of society. Justice is the fundamental principle of moral development, however, justice is not the only thing necessary for moral development. Responsibility and mutual caring are characteristics that build moral development (Swanson 2009). The second theory used is the theory of faith development. Swanson uses Fowler's famous work done in 1981 on the development of faith, which shows that faith is naturally rooted in all human beings. “He distinguishes religion from faith in that religion is thought of as cumulative traditions and faith as a search for meaning
