That was the point I was trying to make about partnering up business with prisons, Barry, so that inmates would be emplyed and upon their release have a smoother transition back in the general population...

But that just part of the rehabilitation process but a big part...

The problem is that with every follar we a re spending on new prisons we are taking from programs that help people stay out of prisons...

And our entire view of social spending tends to be punitive, be it schools that are shut down because they are failing (mostly from lack of resources to begine with) or a welfare propgram that punishes two parent families??? It just biggles my mind to think just how umcompassionate America is... at least it's policies...
