Faith: Ray of light for state inmates

Nice to see a mention of Asatru behind bars that doesn't involve a lawsuit or prison gangs... and actually notes the Nine Noble Virtues. How refreshing!

Geoffrey Burbank knelt in the corner of a prison chow hall, a small silver hammer medallion on his right shoulder. Burbank, 32, has been in and out of prison in three states, but this time, he says he has found something that just may change the course of his life: faith. More specifically, Asatrú, an ancient Norse religion that espouses family and nine "noble virtues" such as courage, honor, trust and discipline.
