Sunday morning and 11 inmates are off to church ( out of 48 in the unit ), some clutching bibles .
William Bell (of Panmure fame) is always first out the door (although the biscuits may be a motivator for him !) .
They’re good singers . I hear them in the computer room where I work .
They just meet in an ordinary meeting room now, because 6 months ago, Corrections requisitioned the purpose built chapel ( complete with cross on top ) as an HQ for our internal “swat team” , the Tactical Response Team.
I find about half the churchgoers are very well behaved the rest of the week .
