>I think that prisons should be schools by default

Indeed. Good work you're doing there.

Now, if we can make schools schools by default, then maybe we can skip the prison step altogether.

"Now, if we can make schools schools by default, then maybe we can skip the prison step altogether."

That's the best quote on HN I've read in a year.

Please try to get this program into the federal prison system. I've got a friend there at Lompoc who would jump all over this. I'd be interested in assisting with that and as a retired computer professional I have the time.

People noting the difficulty of finding employment having a prison/felony record should consider that there is an ever growing body of computer freelance work that only looks at bids and results. That domain is absolutely ideal for those with records for all kinds of reasons.

I think this is a wonderful idea. Is there a place one can go to see volunteer opportunities?
