I work in Juvenile Hall and I can say absolutely we need a religious revival-- at least for the young people. The kids I work with are broken and they have no parents to rely on-- it's mostly their "homies" and their gangs. They talk about murder and death in such a nonchalant way. They talk about smash & grab and arson and burglary in casual ways. The girls who have been sex trafficked talk about their "dates"-- and how much money they make. On occasion, I see some with Bibles and I ask who gave them to them. Usually it's a grandma. Or sometimes a Catholic nun comes into the facility or a Protestant minister and they give them booklets for prayer. One kid said to me that he prays every night because he's all alone and he only has God.
