Four men sit in a prison-sanctioned sukkah at the Coxsackie Correctional Facility in Greene County, with Rabbi Nachman Simon, Director of Chabad House of Delmar in Albany, New York, and Marc Gronich for a filming of The Jewish View.
What is said during the interview with these 4 people – one authentically Jewish and three interested in Judaism – is quite awe-inspiring especially when you hear about what crimes they committed, said Gronich.

Anyone can be Jewish if they want in prison. Most won’t let the prisoners eat in a sukkah at night when it should be. NY claims to do a lot but really it is just lip service on paper.
these are disconnected evil “things” yes when one does certain henious acts they loose part of the tzelem elokim , jewish still yes hopefully not yet you can make an argument in their favor bimei chazal as a relative you could kill these creeps with your bare hands . the lesson for us is tayvos can be motzi es hadam min haolam .vein apotropus min arayos
It takes a special person to visit and try to bring Hashem into the lives of such people. Thanks to Rabbi Simon & Marc Gronich.
Unfortunately our perhaps fortunately, It sounds like three out of the four inmates are not yiddin.
