For what it costs to keep someone in a federal prison, you could
send them to
Harvard for the same period of time. When they get out of Harvard, they
could
find a job that pays a lot more than being a punk crook or low level
drug
dealer..

Problem is most "punk crooks" wouldn't go to class and they'd be
breaking into the dorm rooms of the students who did. Get real.

Instead of sending them to Harvard, how about sending them to grade school
anf high school, and giving them an opportunity to go to college... that
would do way more than prison "reform."

The whiners here remind me of the guy I heard call into a radio talk
show one day who proceeded to tell the host that the reason that po
blacks car jack is that it is demeaning to ride the bus. He then
proceeded to state that there should be free car rental entitlements
for people who can't afford cars.

Which whiners are those? Perhaps the people who think guns and violence are
the answer to all of our problems....

Ugh, no, the people who want to send murderers to Harvard.

I don't think anyone seriously believes that... well, almost nobody. g

Most of those cons for whom you'd like to offer up this opportunity were the
same ones that dropped out of school before. What makes you think they'll
do any better the second time around?

I don't believe there's much hope for them. However, there is hope for those
who have not yet been put away. There are opportunities in prison for high
school equivalency and beyond, but there's not much opportunity for when
prisoners are paroled.
