VIDEO: After retirement, Burl Cain plans to continue mission of implementing seminary program in prisons

April 1, 2016

The opportunity to set up a prison program with New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, “just fell in my lap,” said Burl Cain, former warden at Angola. The four-year program, started in 1995, has produced 278 inmate graduates. Some have even transferred to other prisons as missionaries.

Now, Cain says, instead of inmates committing crimes, they are witnessing to other inmates, studying for a seminary test or holding a Bible study.

He shared his story about the important role Louisiana Baptists played in the changed lives at Angola. Look for a story later at 2 pm today at baptistmessage.com on this and also more about being cleared of any wrongdoings following an investigation by three state agencies.
