Summary: | Research on religion in prison has experienced a significant revival, so to speak, in the first years of the twenty-first century. The rebirth of a once vibrant area of inquiry within the sociological study of religion seems inspired by the emergence of publicly funded faith-based social service provision in the last few years, including in-prison rehabilitation programs like the one at the heart of this book. Other avenues of exploration are also responsible for this burgeoning literature, such as a line of criminological research on the effects of religiosity or religious interventions on inmate attitudes and behavior. |
