{"product_id":"9781575675015","title":"Cain's Redemption: A Story of Hope and Transformation in America's Bloodiest Prison","description":"Formerly known as America's bloodiest prison, the 18,000 acres that comprise  Louisiana's Angola State Penitentiary are now home to 5,000 inmates, a full range  of seasonal crops, a 9-hole golf course, yearly rodeos, a Bible seminary, a museum,  and much more. All of this came into being at the behest of Warden Burl Cain, who  is now the longest-standing warden in the history of Angola prison. Under his leadership,  the inmate population of 5,000 has gone from regular knife fights to Bible studies.  Cain is a strong believer in the ability of the gospel to turn the most incorrigible  of sinners into productive, moral citizens. Because eight out of ten prisoners are  serving life sentences without parole at Angola, Cain has taken upon himself the  task of making the lives of these prisoners productive and educational. Through  a partnership with New Orleans Baptist Seminary, prisoners have the opportunity  to get a bible degree and even be transferred to other prisons as a missionary.  The Angola phenomenon has been covered by such media outlets as: \u003ci\u003eTime Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e,  \u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e, and in the award-winning film documentary, \u003ci\u003eThe  Farm: Angola, USA\u003c\/i\u003e. Author Dennis Shere combines his background in journalism  and law to bring readers this account of redemption and life change in the most  unlikely of places: a maximum security prison.","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150133281008,"sku":"9781575675015","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575675015_p0.jpg?v=1763777428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575675015","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
