The book explores the intersection of religion and incarceration in America, focusing on the implications of faith-based prison programs for the separation of church and state. It examines a 2005 lawsuit that questioned the constitutionality of a religious rehabilitation initiative in an Iowa prison, raising critical issues about the privileges granted to participating inmates. Through this legal case, the author delves into broader societal questions about the relationship between faith and the penal system, highlighting the complexities of religious influence in correctional environments.
