I think this is a great idea and I can relate. I was a wayward youth. I never did anything serious but I was constantly on the wrong side of the law and my success / failure rate was pretty impressive. Though it's not as bad anymore think I was just allergic to authority. I eventually turned my need for risk and self determination to mountaineering and entrepreneurship. A life of crime is very dynamic and intense. Quite similar to startup life. I can see this program being successful and I wish these gentlemen luck. As for the moral dilemma people are concerned about, I don't think it's such a problem. My rebellion was much more rooted in an inability to walk lockstep through a life of following directions than a rotten soul. I tended toward and environment that I thrived in, one of raw risk and raw reward. A program that recognizes these folks and steers them away from the brink sounds like a really good idea. The only laws I've broken in the last 8 years have been speeding and running stop signs. And I refuse to ever give that up.
