Jail Bait

A few days ago, the Toronto Sun reported that a terrorism expert had warned that Canadian jails had the potential to become prime locales for the radicalization of Muslims. Interestingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, local Muslims tend to see things differently. In fact, they are holding a fundraiser for Muslim jailhouse chaplaincy. And here's their pitch:
Have you ever wondered what goes on in jails? 
Have you wondered who are the people that are incarcerated.. like Muslim women and men? 
What really goes on in there? 
Who are the volunteers that spend endless hours helping those who have lost their voices? 
Do those people deserve second chances? or is their fate doomed forever? 
What can you do to help?If these questions have touched a cord in your heart, we invite you to attend an evening to get EDUCATED AND INFORMED. 
This information may directly or indirectly effect you....so BE IN THE KNOW...
"Be in the know"--sounds like sage advice to me.
