Nation's first all-Christian prison
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 11/10/2009 5:00:00 AM


Plans are underway for a 600-bed Christian prison to be built in Wakita, Oklahoma, a town of 380 residents near the Kansas border.

The unique facility is the brainchild of Bill Robinson of Corrections Concepts Inc. in Dallas, Texas, a nonprofit prison ministry. Robinson himself is an ex-con and prison minister. He hopes to open the facility in about 16 months.

Private prisons are not a new concept, and numerous prisons have Christian or faith-based units, but Robinson says he does not know of any with an all-Christian staff. He envisions a staff that will see their work as ministry.

“All of the employees will be Christians,” Robinson says. “We have an opinion letter from the (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) that says we can do that.”

The facility would house only prisoners who want to transfer there. They will not be required to go to church or Bible study, but will be required to sign an agreement to participate in some prison programs. Inmates will be offered classes in literacy, GED requirements and life skills. ......(more)

1. Opening a business should have them lose their

non profit status. Churches have no business in the business arena.

2. Now there is a lawsuit coming. Discriminatory hiring practices based on religion. nt

3. A pretty big 'un just got settled with the Mormons...

Apollo Group Inc. and the University of Phoenix Online have settled a religious discrimination case for $1.89 million. The defendants were accused of discriminating against non-Mormon employees at the University of Phoenix Online division. This would be the largest religious-discrimination settlement in the history of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The lawsuit involved 52 former enrollment counselors who alleged that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were favored in sales leads, promotions, tuition waivers and more at the for-profit school.

Apollo’s annual sales exceeded $3 billion in its latest fiscal year and agreed to four years of monitoring to ensure compliance. Apollo’s longtime chief executive officer, Todd Nelson, was active in the church. Nelson resigned several months before the EEOC lawsuit was filed and is now CEO of Education Management Corp., a Pittsburgh company providing career education.
