Sooo... went into the prison today... i t w a s n u t s. We had to get rid of everything on us, watches, money etc, so I obviously don't have any pictures or anything to show you... The mens prison was amazing, but the womens blew my mind. The lady who led the service is in the 'condemned to death' section for killing her husband... she was the most glowing, wonderful person in the world. Side note-- I've never been one to go on a mission trip and get all sappy about things, but the ladies blew my mind... their singing, their dancing, their testimonies... amazing. Another crazy thing is that if you come into prison pregnant, you keep your baby there until he/she is old enough for primary school. Wild. It was such a blessing to see so many women filled with joy, in such a terrible place.
Another side note, in the mens prison the housing is built for 300 inmates, but houses 1,200... just to give you an idea of how crowded and crazy it is here.
