College degrees for inmates the way to go?
So say  New York politicians.  Why not spend 65 K instead of 60 K for each inmate in prison so when felons leave prison they have a 2 year college degree?
Will  a two year college degree break the 67% recidivism rate overall for all programs and all felons? Yes, 2 out of 3 felons are re-arrested within 3 years of leaving prison.
If New York does this will not California follow right after.
Until ex-felons make a choice to lead a life that contributes and is legal no program will keep persons from doing anti-social, illegal acts.
