Extra Credit--Warden Burl Cain

WORTH:  Up to 15 points
DUE:    Tuesday, April 23
LENGTH: About 1,000 words (4+ pages)

Some wardens feel that programs are an integral part of prisons. Others
don't. Some feel that programs should be reserved for honor prisoners
or lower security prisons. Others don't. Critique "Cain's Redemption"
and discuss (drawing from your knowledge of Illinois prisons) how
you would implement them in Illinois. What problems do faith-based
programs pose? (a bit of googling on the issues and then tying it back
to the book would help)

(NOTE: Warden Cain is the warden of Angola State Penitentiary where NIU 
students have toured every year).
