`God is a prisoner`

DHAKA: Pope Francis on Wednesday called for a more humane justice system, saying God too was ‘a prisoner’ of the world’s injustices and was in every cell.

‘God is a prisoner too. He is inside the cell,’ Pope Francis said at an audience with Italian prison chaplains in the Vatican, reports The Straits Times.

‘He is a prisoner of our egoism, of our systems, of the many injustices...that punish the weak while the big fish swim freely,’ the pope said.

He also spoke of reforms to the justice system.
