    I arrested this kid and he ended up going to prison. He ended up getting an education in prison and continuing his education after prison. The last I heard he passed a bar exam. I don't know if he's practicing today, but I love these moments in life.

      Lol funny I was on the yard with him and took advantage of the program as well. But sadly your wrong and I'm guessing you didn't arrest him either. What country?

    If they just sit around and do nothing they have more time on their hands to plot and scheme to hurt others. Do you work in the prison system? Things like sports, working, and schooling helps inmate stay out of trouble. Earning a higher education help inmates stay out of prison.

    This would help many people stay out of going back to jail. Most didnt even finished highschool they skiped school. Most of this inmates are smart, intelligent and even brilliant but they are misguided and went the wrong way, or the wrong people noticed their potencial and exploded it the wrong way [this happens a lot]. Reason why they need to be educated and focus them towards beign better humans.

    Yes i agree as well, this should be established in all correctional facilities

    I saw a movie where inmates participated in a flower-show; kind of forgot the name of that movie but it was based on a true story. I think we need to make education more affordable and accessible to humans on the planet. Education is the key to a better society when will this earth have enough money for education ? Nice video; enjoyed it!

    On one hand, as a college student struggling to "juggle" budget cuts resulting in eliminated courses, i am frustrated.
    HOWEVER, I STRONGLY believe that it is because of the additional education I have chosen, I have a greater ability than before, to view things from different perspectives.
    Ultimately
    lack of education can potentially lead to a greater misunderstanding while at the same time, further education is likely a catalyst that in many cases leads to greater understanding= less crime

    I believe some prisons do make inmates wear pink. It has a calming effect on people. Some police stations have a "pink room" that they use for interrogations because suspects are more calm in a pink room.

    One thing not mentioned is the majority of these inmates in the college program will not be getting out, ever.

    it's incredibly hard to tolerate the view some people have of inmates as sub-human. they come from a completely different environment. i doubt that any of us have gone through life with out doing something completely irresponsible and/or reckless, only for them that same impulse has a far more severe consequence. these are people in need of help and should not be regarded as a race of the intellectually inferior.

    Just grow up. Some people who commit crime came from a impoverished situation and didn't have the help or guidance to do the right thing. They only know how to survive and an education after taking the consequence, going to prison, and learning their lesson will give them a second chance. Not all criminal are hannibal Lector some are just genuinely in need of some form of support and a glimpse of future.

    All are allowed in the college program. The majority are serving life sentences in the hope that participation in the program appeals to the Board of Prison Terms.

    ok, this shit isn't fair. Why should hardened criminals get a free education and degree when honest citizens have to pay for theirs? Hell some people have such low income and cannot recieve financial help to go to school. Wtf is the deal with this. These priorities are so fucked in the ass. The honest citizens should be able to get a free education and the criminals should have to pay for theirs.

  • @velazq11
    @velazq11 17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Here is an idea... Educate them, but then make them pay it off like the army does. Although I think they should be forced to work to pay for the roof and the hot meals and the cable tv that some prisons offer... make them work hard for it... the whole point is that it is supposed to be a punishment as well as a correctional facility.

    Yes, they look like innocent docile boys with their lunch boxes and apples for the teacher ... wait, he has a knife .. and STABS the teacher ... Who are you fooling?! While this program is admirable and should be continued, expanded even don't think for one minute that any of these thugs wouldn't slice your throat open to get out of there.
    "... should not be regarded as a race of the intellectually inferior"??!
    isn't that the reason for the education program??
