"I don't usually make predictions," wrote Charles Colson, who founded Prison Fellowship Ministries after serving time in prison, "but here's one I'll venture: If, God forbid, an attack by home-grown Islamist radicals occurs on American soil, many, if not most, of the perpetrators will have converted to Islam while in prison."
Colson's faith-based prison program, operating in Iowa's prisons, was just ruled unconstitutional.
