Kenyan prisoners sing to freedom



Proving that gospel praise has many many uses:
Ten prisoners broke free from their cells in central Kenya by singing hymns at the top of their voices to drown out the sound of their escape.

These guys evidently used a hacksaw to get through their bars and then leaped to the ground and sped away. An inmate in the same prison said of the ruckus, "These people really disturbed us as they tried to preach the gospel". Yes, perhaps so, but the actual escaping was fairly quiet, so that's alright.

This article does go on to show how appalling the prison conditions are in Kenya. Give it a read.
