Inmates at Pender Correctional Facility may soon have a new place to worship.
About a year ago, we visited the prison's worship space and were told, by prisoners and the chaplain, the space is just not big enough to accommodate all who want to pray.
On Monday, Chaplain James Spirtosanto told us about three-quarters of the funds they need have been collected.
Spirtosanto estimates the total cost for the project will be $350,000. He added that the prison only needs about eighty percent of that to start construction.
church money
How is it that church money can be used to build government property? Is this on private land owned by the church? NO! And what about people that are of a different faith? Where will they sit for a couple of hours away from the heat and cold?
In the name of the lord just STOP IT!
Space to pray?
Where is the space for the families & businesses they affected with their crimes to come and give them payback?
SPACE TO PRAY? are you kidding? There is plenty of space outside, in their cells, in the showers and anywhere else that they are allowed to stand, sit, breathe and eat. WHAT A WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS!
