Why do criminals get a free degree on the tax payers dollar?

Actually not at all, I dont know a damn person who got a degree in jail but I know prison guards and they tell me all about it.

why don't ya go to jail and get your self a degree also? Problem solved!


hahaha thats genious.!

Its rediculous....what happend to hard work, dedication, and determination to get the things you want?

Well, let's just face it. It's 2009; there are two kinds of people, hard workers and people who expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.

Its not the year its the generation, not all but alot, the respect for everything/everyone is out the window, the ability to take responsibility for their own actions is completely gone, and your right hardwork is a thing of the past. Everyone makes the team, no one ever fails, its all a complete disaster and the building blocks for a weak country as a whole. If I'm one of the people in that generation and I can see it, we must look horrible to those who look at us from the outside looking in.

i think im mostly with royal on this... i never actually had heard of this going on before, but thats not cool... they should absolutely, hands down be given the opportunity to get a degree while theyre there, but there should be some sort of debt with it, even if the payback is completely based on their income... like medical bills for schitzos who never get it together... if they can get things straight, they pay it back... if they simply cant find work, cant hold things down then theres really no money to be gotten from them anyway... but they would have to at least acknowledge the second chance they were given every time one of those happy little reminders found them...

then again, who am i to complain... i took full advantage of wic for a while... and i fully intend to get every 'unmarried mommy' college aide that i can find...

I guess this is a debate about punishment versus rehablitation ?
The problem is having worked with criminals for years I find that punishment doesn;t work . Im no wuss , I get as angry as the next guy over this stuff but the problem is this . When someone gets punished by others they think , I mustn't get caught next time cos this really sucks ! So they seek the advice of better criminals and get better ideas on how to break the law instead of feeling sorry for what they have done to others and repenting (for want of a better word) . The problem then is you don;t get a better society you just have meaner criminals coming out feeling pissed off at society for punishing them !
You can go on building prisons ad infinitum but they aren;t going to take the problem away which i think is essetially getting people to accept responsibility for their actions !
