At my company, we've had two people transfer over from non-dev department to our dev department after going through a coding bootcamp, and both have worked out well. They come in pretty junior, of course, and they're not making $200k either, but I'd say that anyone with the right mindset can learn what they need to learn at a bootcamp as easily as they can in an undergrad program, and anyone without the right mindset is going to struggle with either. There is MUCH more pure memorization required for doctors and lawyers, and it's not even close. That said, I agree overall: software development shouldn't be the only thing taught in prison--or any other similar program.
