How could the opposite ever be true, most incarcerated are not there for life and when they get out they get shit on by the rest of us. Post incarceration opportunities that lead to yearly incomes above the poverty line are reduced 10x probably more. I'm not saying we shouldn't jail people but jail should be like forced education unless your jail term is for life.

- pytyper2 8y agoThey don't offer decent paying jobs because the odds are that if you are a con you don't have the skills to hold the job and/or can't be trusted.
