On the one hand, it shows that when you don't treat people like animals, they are far less likely to act like animals. So it's a shame that the place is closing. On the other hand, the "faith groups" are probably just upset that they are loosing their captive audience for evangelism.

Who the hell cares? If it keeps ppl out of revolving door of prison while living happy and productive lives that's all that matter
I don't think it's a fair assumption that the faith groups are doing that. The facility itself really isn't a prison. The article says:
“It will cost millions to renovate that building to get it up to the jail standards,” she said. “There’s no bars, there’s no doors. It’s like a dormitory. And the women have it beautifully decorated.”
An good argument could be made that the type prisoners sent to such a facility are very unlikely to re-offend in the first place. That chance is further reduced simply by the fact that it's not a facility that is focused on punishment and is focused on rehabilitation with or without religious overtones. I don't for a moment believe evangelizing them helps keep them out of prison.
Oh, the prison helped, that isn't profitable. Close it
