U.S. Senators Call Out Bureau of Prisons for Religious Discrimination

U.S. senators in Washington, on a bipartisan basis, are calling out the federal Bureau of Prisons for what apparently is discrimination against Christians and Christianity.

A report from CBN News explains they are “pushing for answers on practices happening under the First Step Act.”

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., and Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., said the problem is that prison officials are “not allowing” various faith-based programs “to actually get into the Federal Bureau of Prisons.” . . .

“I think Jesus lives in prison because it seems like so many people meet Him while they’re there. I would tell you that the love of God pours out to individuals regardless of their past,” Lankford explained.

He said various programs have been tested and proven effective, and can reduce recidivism significantly. (Read more from “U.S. Senators Call Out Bureau of Prisons for Religious Discrimination” HERE)
