Did You Hear This On The News?

I was reading something on the news to the effect that there were some prison chaplains who had criminal records themselves and that could have some kind of effect on domestic terrorism or something.

Anybody heard anything similar of that sort?

I didnt see anything mentioned on domestic terrorism. It was more about the suitability of former criminals in such environments.

I remember hearing something about a potential domestic terrorism worry, since prisoners can include some very violent people and a chaplain who was once a criminal could spread radical beliefs into the mix or something.

Either way, I only care because I don't want to see a terrorist attack occur in the US because it can be exploited by the government to justify the erosion of civil rights.

or something.

My bet is on "or something" and not on the story you think you heard.
