What are your thoughts on college behind bars?

College for prisoners?

Most companies don't hire felons...

I'd be really interested to see how they do once released from prison with their prison degree 🤔

Watching a Netflix documentary called College Behind Bars

I dislike the word 'felon'. I find it dehumanising and a little adolescent ('good guys' and 'bad guys' mentality.) In my country we talk about people being in prison. He went to jail. She got locked up. ...like that. Just a personal view.
A good justice has multiple components:
* A form of punishment for crime
* Protecting society
* Reformation - break the cycle of crime by helping people find ways to be constructive members of society.

I totally support education in prison.
