| The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners. - Isaiah |
there is something very striking about
this religious card left in one of the
prison's day rooms. the ghostly figure
of christ bears up the body of the
murderer (carrying a hammer in his
right hand and standing with a stream
a blood at his feet) in the moment
where his grief and remorse are too
much for him to bear alone. regardless
of one's religious beliefs, it is a
beautiful and poetic image and no
doubt a deeply meaningful one for
many of the men and women who
turned to christianity for solace while
they were incarcerated at john f.
grantham correctional facility.
