Successful Christian Rehab Program Booted from MN Prison for Biblical Teaching

A Minnesota correctional facility abruptly canceled a Christian rehabilitation program for teaching inmates about manhood and masculinity through a Biblical worldview.

Now volunteers with the program have filed a lawsuit against the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) for violating their First Amendment rights. 

The Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC) and co-counsel True North Legal (TNL) filed a complaint challenging DOC officials for canceling the "Quest for Authentic Manhood" program at the Minnesota Correctional Facility – St. Cloud. 

According to UMLC, the program was "designed to instill principles of authentic manhood" according to the Bible and had "remarkable success."

"More than a thousand inmates completed the program, reporting restored families, healed resentments, and transformative experiences," UMLC explained.
