"I learned many things from inmates that I never learned in my prior life. I learned that you should go straight to the person you're upset with rather than go to authorities. I learned that giving and keeping your word is the ultimate measurement of character. I learned that loyalty is easy to promise, but few really deliver. Don't be that guy. Prison is really a learning crucible since the reactions are so quick and amplified. If you have annoying habits, you'll find out fast. If you are not respectful to others, you'll hear about it and you may get a "tune up" to teach you respect."
Sounds like a better and less expensive education than Harvard and Wharton.

- treenyc 13y agostill less expensive then the Ivy League MBA Education. Provided yes, you will get more connections. However, MBA graduate of Ive League has terrible reputation on horning their words. This Harvard Professor even wrote many paper on the benefit of horning one's word: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6331.html http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6331.html If all things are equal, personally I would rather hire this guy than anyone who graduated Harvard or Wharton.
