How To Work In Prison

My point of view on this matter comes from experience at the prison. For something to work, the person has to use it first. By just buying a vacuum cleaner doesn’t make the house clean. The individual has to use the vacuum cleaner to clean the house then it will be clean. The same idea with the inmates, by just providing the programs and classes doesn’t make them better. There a lot of programs that are offered inside a prison that inmates can take advantage of but there are multiple problems as well. One of the problems is the waiting list. Some of the programs are popular or parole mandated so they have a long waiting list to get in. this is a problem for inmates that are not serving much time but would like to gain knowledge of a skill before leaving prison.
Another problem is inmates with life sentences, they look at the classes or programs as pointless. Those skills that they will gain will not benefit them in prison. Having a Bachelor's degree will not keep them safe in prison or provide any additional knowledge to being an inmate. I believe if they have different jobs and classifications for graduates, they will have a different perspective on the program. The different jobs can have different qualifications similar to the outside world, for example, an individual can’t be a doctor unless they have a medical school degree. The same concept will be used for example an inmate can’t be a clerk unless they have a business degree or business
