"Returning to my unit from the dining hall, I noticed some copies of the Christian ScienceJournal and Sentinel on a bookshelf at the entrance to the unit. The first thing that occurred to me as I read was that whoever wrote these articles understood something I desperately needed to learn. It was so perfectly obvious to me that what these publications were saying was based on a demonstrable truth, and on a concept of God that I had never encountered before. "After my release I joined The Mother Church and a branch church. Eventually I was appointed and served for five years as the Christian Science Chaplain at the facility I had been paroled from. I also served in that capacity in several other prisons and correctional facilities in California... I have been involved in this Institutional Services activity in one role or another since that time." - A former inmate
