This paper details the impact of Christianity on prisoners, both during and after release. It includes original research conducted by the author in several Victorian prisons. Due to the positive impact of Christianity the author discovered, he calls for radical change to how the church, government and prison operation approach the issue of religion in prisons – and after the prisoner is released.

S120A Crown of Thorns, Half Naked, Tits: Rachel Griffiths' Lady Godiva / Naked Girl Christ.
Winter 2002
By Bill Stewart
Noting the prophetic spectacles (provocative symbolic actions) performed by prophetic figures in the ancient Near East including Jesus, the author argues that neglect of such action may be attributed to the ‘anti-body’ tradition in Western religious and philosophical traditions. He asks what such prophetic action might look like in the postmodern world The paper attempts to answer this question by narrating a series of analogous acts from the later 20th century which the author considers echo the style and content of the ancient prophetic actions. The author also argues for a reconsideration of the relevant of such action in an increasingly visual ‘society of the spectacle’ where saturation in new forms of media is considered by some to the separating the link between emotion and action.
