I am looking for some books or websites specifically talking about prison life for the inmates. I would like to know about inmates from Eastern State Penitentiary, Sing Sing…whatever prisons being used from the 1800s to around 1960. Thanks!

I’m doing a school project on the issues of mentally ill death row inmates. I haven’t had luck so far finding charts/graphs about them: the number of people,. the demographics, etc. Help please.

Rev. Dr. Glen asked:


My question concerns the ultimate good and evil battle of Revelation. It is an epic story, even surpassing the Super Bowl and BCS football games.

I recently gave a sermon on it at my prison ministry. It is not a book I have read thoroughly, but have examined it. My understanding is that it says Jesus will come as a savior, when evil and good are at the point of Armageddon in the Middle East. One inmate corrected me on this. I could not respond with specific Scripture. If someone knows it I would be very grateful to learn it.

Secondly, Revelation has broken down interpretations of the Millennium into three categories. The three interpreations are postmillennialism, premillennialism, and amillennialism. My preference is amillennialism, because first, postmillennialism requires it to come from today’s flawed church. Second, premillennialism is too literal. Why is Satan to be bound exactly one thousand years? The second revolt does not seem logical to me. Please explain.
Appreciate the responses. Still hope to hear more. Let the reader state his opinions, the approach does not have to involve theological terms, which may or may not be helpful.

Revelation addresses the biggest issues of our time. Can man rule himself? Why the endless wars? If there is no suprenatural powering coming or having control, what will happen on Earth?

The end of the Cold War really changed things. Since Communism was anti-religious and dictatorial, then it did seem to be an evil force that had to be contained. But now we might ask, who are the evil forces? After our horrible debacle in Iraq, what gives the United States the moral authority to dictate world policy? When Jesus arrives in Revelation 19, it says nothing of him carrying a United States flag?

These are some of the issues Revelation deals with. All responses, perspectives appreciated.
