Chattanooga Times Free Press | Jail band's music is a ministry

Full story: www.timesfreepress.com

The inmates of Sequatchie County Jail have something to sing about. So much so, they have formed a group called Free on the Inside. "These people are incarcerated; they're locked up. But when you are born again, then you are free on the inside. That represented who they are," he said. "We keep punishing people and all we do is build up bigger jails. So why don't we try a different approach? This is the one we're doing. And it's changing lives." Corrina Sisk-Casson is based in Sequatchie County.

"Andy Bickford, a 32-year-old Pikeville, Tenn., native serving a sentence for vehicular homicide, said the ministry helped him patch up relations with some of his loved ones.

A string of crimes, including the slaying of his father in 1995, has kept him in jail for most of his adult life, he said."

This guy should not be allowed to roam the streets . Patricide , homicide and whatever other crimes he committed make him a good candidate for prison , not a ministry .
its a pathetic joke

People are in jail for a reason. They broke the law and are there supposidly to be punished for their crimes. However, this seems not to be the case according to Sheriff Hitchcock and how he runs his jail. This Sheriff is running his prison like a variety show. How dare he allow a savage two time murderer to join in the fun and participate in public! This is a complete mockery of not only the law, but to the victims of their crimes that cannot speak. The boy Bickford killed under the infulence of drugs and alcohol also played guitar, but he no longer has a voice to lift in song. Sheriff Hitchcock, take heed. Your actions speak volumes to the people who elected you.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Aries

The behaviour of somebody around you (most probably your partner or family member) may be rather irrational today. Alternatively, a surprise involving one of these people is possible. Try to keep your domestic plans reasonably flexible to cover all possible outcomes. The focus is on improving your relationship with your partner or with friends today. Any outings should go very smoothly.
