Agree wholeheartedly. They need to b training those who want to learn, jobs that will help them when they return to the outside, make jails safer for all, help inmates keep and strengthen connections to families, have good libraries, teach them to garden and grow food, cook the healthy food ~ there are some best-practices jails in the country I've read about.
The jobs also need to pay at least minimum wage instead of pennies. Here in California they are discussing this. I don't think it will pass but at least it is seeing the light of day.
Off subject, however, prisons need a make over. Thankfully no first hand knowledge to share. From what I have read some are a medieval experience.
