I really want to echo the sentiment that I really hope you guys succeed. There has to be a better incarceration solution than what we have going on now.
I do have a couple questions and please forgive my ignorance in the US judicial system, but from the post it seems that Promise will provide an organized way for participants to be tracked and make/keep appointments.
* How would Promise and its government partners determine a person's eligibility?
* Is a Promise program intended to be available for everyone regardless of the offence? If so, how does Promise intend to convince the society at large that tracking and monitoring the participant is enough to deter repeated offences while on the program? Especially for more violent crimes
* Is the end goal that Promise is in mind when the sentencing is done? ie: the judge would sentence an offender to be on a Promise program for x months/years?
* While I personally think this is a great idea, especially for people convicted of non-violent offences, the fact remains that a mark on one's criminal record severely limits one's job prospects. Does Promise work with participants to better their chances on getting a job and getting back on their feet?
Again, best of luck on this!
