Religion increasingly plays an important and sometimes controversial role in the lives of many incarcerated individuals. Indeed, the world’s two great religions, Christianity and Islam, often compete for souls behind bars as they administer to the spiritual needs of prisoners in search of greater hope and purpose in their lives. The battle for prison souls comes in many forms, from evangelical Christian to Muslim brotherhood to other types of spirituality.
