Prisons in the Netherlands are hiring psychics to help prisoners get in touch with their deceased loved ones.
The move is aimed at providing guidance for jailed criminals. Messages from relatives beyond the grave are thought to be able to help the prisoners to "love themselves" claimed one clairvoyant.
Paul van Bree, a self-styled "paragnost" or clairvoyant, has been hired by the Dutch prison service to teach prisoners how to "love themselves". "I tell them that dead relatives are doing well and that they love them. That brings them peace. Big strong men burst into tears," he said.

Reading this makes me want to try and find a therapist like this to find a 'spirit guide' if I have one. This treatment would help a prisoner whom did something bad.. and it would do a lot for anyone, I believe. Just think of how everyone might change had we all access to such abilities..

in other words they lie to the prisoners to make them feel better. great idea! not a novel one however, since thats basically all religion does. thats probably why they give prisoners bibles in the US. but in the Netherlands they cant do that because the prisoners would roll up the pages!

They can't give bibles in Dutch prisons because most residents are Muslims... a koran would be more adequate :rofl: :rofl:
