Likewise, we came to see there would be little true cost savings, in that some staffer would have to take care religion in prison-it's a right after all-and manage the good volunteers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJerry Madden, Senior Fellow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRight on Crime - RightonCrime.org\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHouse Committee on Corrections Chairman 2011-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt seemed like all was lost. . . . \u003cb\u003eDr. Keith Bellamy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSenior Minister, Woodville Church of Christ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTDCJ Certified Volunteer Chaplain 15-plus years\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTake a ride through Maness' book and learn firsthand about reducing crime, rehabilitating lives, making our streets safer, and bringing hope to the least, the last and the lost just like Jesus commanded.
