Eks said:NNQ, if you check the data (national crime statistics, Uniform Crime Report, teen pregnancy statistics from any state, CDC reports, etc.) you would find that there are two common variables across the board with these populations: predominately they 1) come from single parent households, and 2) they have no solid faith-based affiliation (for those incarcerated, prior to their incarceration. Once in, it is not unusual for many of them to “find religion.”)
I believe 95% of all prison inmates come from oow situations. Though the teen pregnancy rate went down geometrically in our community recently. The word HAS gotten out on that end
