There was an interesting piece on ABC (TV) news last night in a section
they call "Solutions." It is about a prison in Texas that is being run by
a Christian organization. The idea is to change the beliefs of the
prisoners by inculcating them into religion. The program is new and it is
too soon to evaluate the results.

On the emotional level I have some difficulty with this type of approach
but on the intellectual level it hit me as a great example of applying
systems thinking to solve a problem.
