I wonder what happens if a Jew, a Moslem, or a Seventh Day Adventist gets
arrested. Not to mention a Hindu, Buddhist, or another other follower of a
non-western faith.

Subject: Go to Church or Go to Jail?
That’s what it appears to be (sorry for cross-posting but this should be useful
to subscribers on both lists looking for an exam question, to say nothing of
the expected discussion).

Headline and first paragraph:
Jesus or jail? Alabama town offers options for serving time
If you're charged with a nonviolent crime in one Alabama town, you might just
have the chance to pray it all away.
Starting this week, under a new program called Operation ROC (Restore Our
Community), local judges in Bay Minette, Alabama, will give those found guilty
of misdemeanors the choice of serving out their time in jail, paying a fine or
attending church each Sunday for a year.
