Kaiser, Michael. "Correctional Education, Because It Works." Corrections Today Vol. 72, No. 4. Aug 2010: 18-20. SIRS Researcher. Web. 07 Oct 2010.
This article says that $1 million spent on correctional education prevents 600 new crimes. Those who are locked up and get an education tend to change, which makes the public more safe. It says that 23% of those who recieved an education and then got released do not return. When the criminals get an education they learn how to get a good job, therefore they have a greater chance of getting out of a bad neighborhood. When the criminals get and education they are actually being treated equally as others, because everyone should have the right to education.
This is going to show the percentage of criminals that do benifit from getting an education, because they actually turned their lives around.
Good information. The data in the article make your summary more interesting and support your idea that it's better for criminals to have an education, for the benefit of them and the citizens around them.

ReplyDeleteYou have a good piont miriam. People locked up should have a chance to recieve an education. it would make the community more safe and peaceful. If they don't have something to keep them busy then they will do nothing but think of more crimes they can commite once let loose again.
