Palmetto program is one of many across the USA increasingly turning to education to reduce the rate of recidivism and to give inmates hope for their future. Organizations like theese affect prisons in a positive way, like in a Califonia the number of inmates decreased by more than 4,700 after an educational program. There are many other states that have started to get organizations like these set up in their prisons. This article also mentions that in order to change a criminals mind other people have to help them by educating their minds, this is going to give them a new point of view everyday.

I like how this article shows the different statistics in prisons from all over the country, that have been affected in a positive way. This says that criminals can change, we just have to try and care for them.
