there are jobs awaiting them. Providing them with very low cost housing for first two years after release if needed, low cost private job training or re-training facilities, low cost private mental health facilities, low cost health care where needed, transportation to and from facilities where needed and counseling readily available.
If it costs $25,000 a year or more to incarcerate, adequate rehabilitation funding should become available.
Put these things in place with competent people offering guidance and proper controls in place; then "go for it". Long overdue.If the government iw largely in charge of the above, expect a law or failure.
Placing them in public Vocational Schools like the big disappointment Woodruff Vocational School here in Peoria are largely a waste of time and money. In fact, Woodruff is not really a Vocational Training School. It is four schools combined in one building. Vocational Training school? Hardly.
That "private" is about 80% better than public is a proven fact. Unless the "crony" system rears it's ugly head.
