Treatment Programs Often Involve Choosing Between Value Systems

question 50

Essay

Treatment programs often involve choosing between value systems. You are a prison warden who wants to introduce more treatment-based programs into your institution. An explicitly Christian organization wants to work with your prisoners, and will do so free of charge. They have a proven success rate with other prisons. The only requirement they have is that all inmates who volunteer for the program must accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. You, like many of the inmates, are a devout Muslim. What will be the basis for your decision, and what are the issues that will arise?
