What this article says is that states, especially California, should not spend money on prisons. People say this because the more the state spents on the prisons the less the state helps the poor in the communities. The help that the prisons get is not fair because they chose that wrong path on their own and they still get away with an education.
This is going to be the argument against mine, because thsi article says no money should go to prioson, and if they do not get money this is going to have a negative affect on the educational programs prisons have for the criminals.

This article says that their studies have also concluded taht the more educated criminals become the greater the change is that they will straighten up their lives. They think that the earlier adults educate the youth, the better students become in making decisions that are right from wrong. All of the youths education should get better at a younger age so they can help prevent the criminal activity, and all the number of inmates prisons have.
This helps me have another back up to all my thouguhts. The way that this article also mentions that educating the youth help reduce the number of criminals, is a really good thing because it makes me think that this is the truth.

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.

The government has a moral obligation to make sure inmates are in better condition when they leave than when they came in, said state Rep. Jan Pauls. Most of the times something that is going to change a person can start out by getting a job. When criminals get a job they tend to move away from negative influences. If they get a job criminals are not going to be stealing your car or phones, instead they're going to be buying a car or a phone.
These facts help my point of view, and it is going to get others to support this topic, including the government.

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.

UNESCO's education for prisoners
http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=30078046&sid=1&Fmt=4&clientId=16548&RQT=309&VName=PQD
The article that I found says that the UNESCO's (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) set the standard treatments that prisoners should recieve. They say that juveniles should get an education anlong with adult criminals because everyone should have the right to education. They should get education on how to improve their productivity and social ways with others, so if they get out they do not fail in their education. Criminals should have "access to education, including literacy programmes, basic education, vocational training, creative, religious and cultural activities, physical education and sports, social education, higher education and library facilities."
This is going to help me include an association that adopted the standars of education for criminals back in 1990. This is going to say what criminals should have access to within education and more.

more education

This article is pretty much saying our actions in life are usually determined by the education we get. I think that this is some what true because the more things one knows the better we become in making smarter decisions. If we get involved in educational activities we tend to do better in chosing, a carrier, and the people we hang out with. Therefore, with an education it is easier to chose the positive paths for ourselves in life.
I am going to use this article as part on my side of this argument. This is telling me how it is better to educate people so they get in the right track in life. So if they recieve a poor education it would be more likely that those people remain behind bars for majority, and if not all of their life behind bars.
