Angola 3 News: The Bible uses the word "prison" 116 times, and Psalm 69:33 reads, ". . . the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners." Throughout the Bible, prison and executions are identified as tools of oppression against the underclass and dissidents, including the early Apostles and Jesus himself. The Bible presents the liberation of prisoners as a social good, as illustrated by the following noteworthy passages:
"Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners." (Psalm 146:7)
"I the LORD have called thee in righteousness . . . to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." (Isaiah 42:6-7)
