The country's first "faith-based prison" for women opened yesterday in Tampa. Florida also is home to the first such prison for men which opened in December, with Jeb Bush on hand to work the crowds.
President Bush is also trying to institute religious bias:
Bush is trying to get Congress to exempt religious groups from adhering to anti-discrimination laws on hiring policies. He wants the groups to be able to discriminate based on religion and sexual orientation.
