I agree, this is a tremendous idea. It would be even better if they could earn a degree or license through this program. What if instead of receiving a court order to learn algebra, criminals had to study some kind of trade? This would give them a way to enter the formal economy, providing stability in their lives and eliminating the need to earn money through crime.
