Opinion | My Parishioner Was Not Sentenced to Death. He Still Died.

What happens to the nearly two million people in our nation’s prison system demonstrates who we are as a people.

"You certainly don’t need to be a person of faith to advocate prison reform. But those of us who do follow Jesus Christ would do well to remember that we worship a man who died an unjust death within a broken criminal justice system, just as my parishioner did." - Steven Paulikas, rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, NY
