This week, The Oklahoman and Reveal News, a California-based investigative journalism group, both released independent reports that examine how Oklahoma drug courts are sending people to work long days and nights in chicken slaughterhouses – with no compensation – to help "recover" and "rehab" from drug addiction and other non-violent crimes.
Naturally, the programs are administrated and organized by non-certified, Christian-based organizations that promote "faith-based recovery." The programs require laborers to attend church, sleep six to a room on bunk beds, and do other important things like help remodel their bosses houses in exchange for room and board.
The drug courts send people to these programs thanks to prison overcrowding, and because forcing people to work long hours at chicken slaughterhouses – and worship supernatural deities – is the best way to treat and combat the chemical and psychological processes that lead to addiction and substance abuse.
In fact, I believe it's in Matthew where Jesus preaches on the mountain – "And blessed are the drug addicts, for gutting chickens with no compensation is their path to recovery."
