USA's educational systems and prisoner rehabilitation.
I've read still another commentator advocating governments' offering prisoners educational and vocational training programs they failed to accept earlier in their lives, and/or superior or additional opportunities that were previously unavailable to them. I don't doubt it that would be financially and socially net beneficial to our nation.
It's the latter portion of the prior paragraph, (and/or we offer them superior or additional opportunities that were previously unavailable to them), that I find to be problematic.
Is it fair to offer prisoners what was denied to other USA children and young adults?
On one hand, if the educational and training programs we offer prisoners are not superior to what's generally offered to USA's children and young adults, those programs may fail or be less financially and socially net beneficial to our nation; (i.e. we may be net squandering public funds).
The graduates of USA's public educational training systems are academically and vocationally inferior to most Western European nations' graduates. Any improvement of a nation's educational and training practices will no lesser improve the nation's social and economic well-being.
Our governments' policies should better improve our nation's educational and training practices AND offer prisoners those very same educational and training programs. Respectfully, Supposn
