I agree entirely. In many cases it's reinforcing a prisoner's connection with society that reduces their chances of re-offending. A recent study in the UK showed that simply ensuring inmates in a prison had a bank account cut re-offending rates by a third! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-11008453 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-11008453 For me, this highlights the mix of factors leading people towards criminality. I wonder what other things we take for granted we could use to help inmates.
