54% to 70% of prisoners on parole in California are sent back to prison within three years because of new criminal offences. A programme known as Serving California is working to change that. 800 men and women are studying to get the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in theology in a three-and-a-half year programme and once they complete that programme, they graduate. It is biblically-based moral rehabilitation, and the good part about it is that it is also peer-to-peer evangelism in prison. The course is attempting to reverse the phenomenon of gangsterism inside a state prison and ‘basically take that citadel of evil back for Jesus Christ’. So far it has produced dramatic results, with 250 men and women paroled out and put on a Christian rehabilitation scheme with Christian parole officers assigned to graduates. To date their reoffending rate over a five-year period is about 7%.
