Education In Our Prisons

 We strongly believe that we should educate inmates while in Prison. During their stay, Inmates should not only be punished for the crime they committed but they should also be given the opportunity to better educate themselves to prevent them from ending up back in prison. Obviously these inmates didn't have someone to make sure they were doing the right thing so as a country we have an obligation to better our citizens and teach them how to be become successful and better people in general. How do we expect criminals to not commit more crimes when they are released from prison if we don't rehabilitate & educate them while they're in prison? As stated in the article "If a person has an educational experience in prison, they are most likely to succeed in not coming back". Education will give inmates a level of confidence that they've never experienced before which will lead to a better chance of receiving employment. We often hear about the term "career criminal" and this is because most inmates only know how to commit crime. If we teach them the proper life skills to better prepare them  for the world after prison, they will have a much better chance of living a crime free life.
