ABSTRACT
Of course critics of the policies he helped enact would say Earley’s repentance came too little too late. The damage was done, and he is not making laws anymore to make things right. But what is important is that he was speaking in his role as director of the policy arm of the Prison Fellowship Ministries, an evangelical organization that has become a major part of a remarkable and much larger fight evangelicals and conservatives have waged in the name of reforming the nation’s penal system.
