I think that is an easy question to answer. First, people in prison are at their most vulnerable. Second, they are scared...living so closely with people who have so many different personalities. Who among us has a wide range of personility study in a setting...that intimate?. Third, the prevailing indoctrination held by other inmates will be, mostly protestant or catholic religions. Forth, they will merge for safety reasons and may even hold a notion of self improvement! And lastly, religious organizations love to 'help' these 'setting ducks!' The Christian churches are the driving force in prisons...even among the staff!

Because they ARE in prison and are hoping there is some divine intervention, because they are looking for an opiate of any kind, because they have no hope otherwise, because they want absolution for their "sins"? And, religion is another way to get "high." Think pentacostal worship services : )

They are trapped in a smaller box, and need to escape reality.

Because they are scare of not being forgiven by god and they need to put a front of rehabilitation for the parole board. I asked an ex con and he give me the answer I am putting here.
