I like #10. so that was made by the inmates themselves. I would like to know what came of the majority of those who were released. was there a higher success rate or a low inmate return. Please let me know!

does anybody watch msnbc or national geographic?!? These programs are not in all prisons. In fact, they are in only a few in the whole nation. The prisoners need these programs because if they are educated and rehabilitated (finding a new purpose in life), they are more likely to have the knowledge and confidence to find a job so they aren’t dealing drugs or know how to handle their emotions so they aren’t going to violently hurt anybody. If there are no programs in the prisons to help people with their skills, they will just be mindless, angry people. Why would they want to get out of prison if there’s nothing out there for them? They’ll just learn how to be better criminals. In prison, they learn how to fight, lift weights, smuggle drugs, and make weapons. If they were in classes all day, they wouldn’t even have time to do anything like that.

i was sad to see inmate fire crews werent on this list. the program is massive in california, over 8,000 prisoners in about 40 conservation camps throughout the state. when they arent on fires, they do public works projects like brushing roads and cutting firewood for senior citizens. many come out of the camps ready to be productive members of society, some as firefighters.

Are you kiddng me? What we need as less “programs” and get things back to the old ways. Lock them up, buzz off their hair, give them a jumpsuit, and make them work.
All this crap about inmate rights is just that, crap! They committed a crime against society. They, therefore,should lose all their righs.
But in todays society we give them almost better living conditions than they had before being locked up. Simple logic tells us that the rise in repeat offenders and over crowding are largely caused by coddling them.
Conjugal visits? Yeah, let them make more welfare babies they can’t support.
Victim Offender Mediation? Leave out the mediator and let the victim have them alone in a room.
Babies in prison? Brilliant idea! Now the tax payer has to support the kids too.
Boot camp and education are the only good things on this list.
