Separation of church and state at the heart of Amendment 8
By Brittany Alana Davis
In many ways, Amendment 8 boils down to this:When
Jerod Powers, 38, left prison in Jacksonville, he had only a change of
clothes, his release papers and pocket change. He went to Prisoners of
Christ halfway house — an organization that receives some state
financial assistance — where he got food, clothes, substance abuse
counseling and help finding a job at a lawn care business.Powers also got spiritual guidance.
