"Just within this last two months that I’ve been here I have received Jesus as my Savior and I have this pod to thank for that. This is the sex offender pod and before I was brought here whenever I was in another pod or I looked into here from on the other side of the door I was so judgmental and I talked bad about this pod. But now that I’m in here I couldn’t want to be in any other pod. The guys in here are, for the most part saved and born again. Whenever we get someone new we suggest Bible studies and the like. I am not a sex offender but the guys that are in here that are being charged are facing life and for the most part feel the need for Jesus because they feel they have very little to live for…. Most people think that these guys are monsters, but if they were here in the midst of it all would think differently. They are the most giving, caring and nice guys around. If we need something or want it and they can spare it they will 90% of the time give it to us. Things like phone calls, commissary items, I-care packages and whatnot all get shared even when we don’t ask. The pod has a happy, joyful aura about it that makes things easier being in jail.”
