Just read this today; it seems to lend empirical support to the idea of the
transformative value of the Christian worldview:

"[I]nmates who received as little as 10 hours of Bible studies
a year via Prison Fellowhip were rearrested one year after
release at a rate of 14 percent, while otherwise comparable
(i.e., same offense history, same age) inmates who did not
receive the [Prison Fellowship] intervention recidivated [committed
another crime] at three times that rate." [This is cited by
John J. DiIluio, Jr, in his article "The Coming of the Super-Preachers,"
published in the June 23, 1997 edition of 'The Weekly Standard'.]
