We are a country that can’t wait to put people in jail but when it comes to helping people so that they don’t go to jail in the first place with programs that promote education no we don’t wanna do that. We would rather spend $50,000 a year keeping someone incarcerated than $20,000 a year so that they never have to come back and can be become productive members of society.
We know programs like this work because for some odd reason other countries that send people to prison don’t have repeat offenders. They don’t run their prisons like businesses either that’s a whole Nother story but for some odd reason, all of our western allies send people to jail when they commit crimes, but those people usually don’t go back

What do you expect. Corporate Oligarchs run this country. Dog eat dog society.

[@firstlast8258]

Put yourself in prison

[@san6788]

its great a follow up was done and even better to hear these two are doing great hopefully many many more are just as successful

[@katiesioux7757]

Not every convict is a monster but not every convict can be rehabilitated

[@StopCensoring-fq5fl]

This is good and similar to the European model of incarceration.
Residivism rates are high but what this program does Is allows space for a favorable outcome at EOS and it gives the person hope for a future after incarceration. Not to mention saving taxpayers money and saving the judicial system from utilizing resources unnecessarily!
Stats show that over half of inmates are on the wash, rinse and repeat cycle, however this model of incarceration is designed to decrease and stop the cycle.
Thank You

FYI - Norway doesn't have large gangs, drug cartels, & immigration compared to the U.S.

[@user-ku1np8bs8n]

That is such a subtly racist comment. Vile.

[@mg-s6620]

Shutuuuuup 🙄 Norway was the large gang, ask England 😂 I hate how short sighted and ignorant gringos are.

[@kaygomez1927]

Great follow up thank you

[@bobroberts2371]

Note that an inmate needs to be on good behavior in a REGULAR JAIL for something like 10 years before they are even considered for the program, this skews the numbers. I'd like to see the program take in random people and see how well that goes.

Godbless Francisco 🙏🏻🥶

[@firstlast8258]

Gawd bless Murica 🤡 🖕

[@ariellarahimi8233]

Great story! ❤

[@teeconsigliano7631]

US isn't Norway and CA is no model. People being rehabilitated is the exception. CA mostly just releases criminals with no rehabilitation and non-criminals have to fend for themselves.

[@sharonevans1257]

It's a good idea!

[@mg-s6620]

Beautiful ❤

[@TakashiBona]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@chiccenhawkc]

Trust me prison program don’t work I seen many people come in n out of prison 😂

[@Jake_RF]

If you're a knuckle head it won't work, if you want to stay out it's great

[@213funnyp]

The key is simple, stay away frm old friends.work.home.work

[@JoseContreras-mv5yz]

It's the people not the program then.

[@uhok-h6r]

Oooo wOwwwww youre not an inmate youre an incarcerated indViduAlllll 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@jamesfields7]

So how much more are we spending to give one extra person a career working with prisoners? I'm not convinced of anything positive for a taxpayer from this report.

[@32srt32]

teach them to fish and they can eat forever!
