But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us

[phil112]

Ephesians 2:4 "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us"

I have sat here and thought about whether or not I should bring this up. It is extremely disturbing and it will turn your stomach. I will urge you to think twice before reading this article. It is vulgar, crude, and gut-wrenching.

By the grace of God, I have never been to prison. I would not do well in an environment like this. I would, no doubt, be killed, because I would resist men like this to the death. If you do read it, ponder on what this man has been thru and is going thru. I believe he has a place in heaven waiting for him. He is a rough man and has been on the wrong side of the law, but he is now putting his life on the line to serve God as he believes. I am confident that will count in his favor on that day.

Again, carefully consider if you can deal with this subject matter.
This is the last paragraph of the article, for those that choose not to click on the link.

Finally, if you could change one thing about the US prison system, what would it be?
The prison system here has been set up not to allow God in. That needs to change, because God is love, and where there’s love, there’s peace.

Mr. Attwoods statement :

Do you think the prison system could do more to protect weaker inmates?
The prison system does nothing to protect weaker inmates. It’s a system that encourages evil.


I give this guy props for what he's doing but he knows what he's up against, even in his particular isolated prison. I've seen some pretty wild stuff in prison. Instead of rocks " wherever they got those from " ? It was pad locks swung in socks. Even the mop wringer can do some pretty serious damage. Big guys in prison, that's all they do... Work out.. and scuffle or just bad predicaments people put themselves in..Either you learn the ways of the predator or you become the prey, " wise as serpents but peaceful as doves ". It's a completely different world in prison, it's mostly all mental, rarely becomes something physical popping off. You'd know when something serious is about to go down, a smooth silent calm comes over a dorm, in a usually loud chaotic place. There's gays in prison, they don't have to take it, they give it or get " turned out " by it. The weak do get preyed on for their money mostly, " store " cigarettes, food, and these types of things. Either you learn to " strap up " tie your shoes and fight, at any random moment, or come out of your things. This doesn't matter how big you are either, if your
" green " don't know, ...their coming .

I've been in a few pretty serious prison fights, been in holes for months at a time, always some drama going on, no peace. I hated the hole the most,example/do not do this: just go sit in a small room
" without God " and no one or nothing for one day. Then think doing it for 45-60 days at a time. Pretty terrible stuff, I hope no one to prison but those that really belong there, or need it. It changes no one though, it just makes them think how to be slicker or do it better, more hatred, bitterness and resentment towards the system because everyone knows it's a trap, I've seen so many come right back including myself. Haven't been in ten years though, both because I got real slick in my dealings and " grace of God " , and then being saved for a few years now.

I will pray for this guy, it's not easy playing super man in a magnified sort of hell. He will need God with him for sure. I hope he reaches some with his testimony and helps those that want to hear about Jesus.. God bless him.
