A local preacher tapped his foot to the beat of contemporary Christian music that blared from a loud speaker outside CoreCivic s Oklahoma Reentry Opportunity Center. We know we were made for so much more joy unspeakable, love unthinkable. There s so much more than this ordinary life, the Rev. Lynn Turner sang along with the melody.
Nearby, several women closed their eyes and raised their hands to the sky in worship, while other women sang and swayed to the music.
Turner and his church members were separated from the female inmates by the physical barrier of a chain-link fence surrounding the private community correctional facility.
