In recent weeks, for reasons unknown, three men from different backgrounds, all of whom live in the E-North cell block, attempted to take their own lives...

unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 This morning I looked out my window to find a fresh coating of snow on the ground. So when it was time for the recreation yard to open, I went outdoors... It's been a long time since I last taught a Bible study. Today, however, because the inmate who usually teaches the Sunday class had to attend another event, he asked me to cover for him...
