On a Prison Ministry, Even When Unjustly Imprisoned

“I got a rap on my office door recently. The rapper was Karl Keating giving a meet-and-greet tour of the apostolate for a man called Russell Ford and his friend, one Marshall Pickard. I, the rappee, had been looking forward to meeting the man I had admired for many years for his articles in the former This Rock magazine and for his tenacity and courage. Only months ago he had walked out of the Alabama prison system a free man after 25 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.”

In a recent commentary, Patrick Coffin, host of the national radio show, Catholic Answers Live, reflected on Russell Ford and his evangelization ministry during the time he was in prison.
