Faith in the Big House
The power of the growing prison ministry movement is put to the test as six Louisianian inmates struggle to break the cycle of incarceration. The late Orlando based Bishop Frank Constantino, a former mobster, serves up his prison to pulpit story as well. Faith in the Big House takes us inside the workings of an evangelical Christian prison retreat, a new fixture in America's lock-ups. Will a rock guitarist, a gang-banger from the notorious Ninth Ward, a self-styled prison theologian, a pedophile choir director, and a Muslim ex-football star encounter the possibility for long term redemption? Will they stay out once they get out, or face prompt re-incarceration?
