Leaving the Ninety-and-Nine to Seek Out the Prisoner

   A prison reform bill would bring an "epic shift" in how Utah treats its prisoners, according to the bill's sponsor, Rep. Eric Hutchings. I am not familiar enough with the specifics of what is being proposed. I might oppose some of the proposals. I do, though, think it wonderful that we are addressing an overhaul of our prison system. To me, reforming the prisoner should be one of society's greatest concerns. From a Christian standpoint, these are the lost sheep, the ones for which the shepherd leaves the ninety-and-nine to seek out and save.
