Good idea. Now how do we make it happen. Maybe instead of it being a form of punishment it could be a form of redemption. Example: Sentenced to four years of prison( three free meals, t.v., basketball, etc. etc.) and still a felon when sentence completed. Or agree to four years of military service overseas. If you complete the military service without any type of problems, you get a clean record and the opportunity to re-enlist. If you don't complete or have a lot of major problems then it's off to the prison yard. Of course not all crimes would be eligible such as murder, rape, child molestation etc. etc... But I believe it is the best idea there is.
175,000 prisoners in Texas and guessing about 60 % non-violent crimes, with the age of the inmate between 18-35. Take a chance and teach these young men something more than what we are doing now, which is nothing.
