Sounds like you're doing very creative good work. Thank you for it. Keep it up. Totally rethinking and re-forming our prisons is so much needed! Prisons are not only costly, they ruin people. Could we not create a system that helps them? I've read there's a far more humane criminal justice/penal system in Germany that comes much closer to doing this.
Thanks, Lawrence! You are absolutely right about Germany, and a number of Americans have gone there in recent years to learn about their system. Ultimately, the biggest difference in philosophy is that Germans believe their corrections system is meant to help you, not only punish you.

Worth looking into.
