In response to: College Education for Inmates?

I could not agree more with exactly what Alyssa Villalobos comments about in her blog The United States Government 2016. Her approach to the New York Times article about bringing education to those imprisoned is right on point. I really appreciate the feedback she has as she makes her input available right alongside the facts she has acquired.

Hearing her perspective gives insight to the injustices we have in our prison systems. We can not overlook this educational opportunity to make people better. Just like one goes to the hospital or rehab the goal is to get better. Why not have the same philosophy for our jails?

People who go to jail especially for minor crimes so exit from jail with a better understanding of their world which will help them understand how to live a better life. I enjoyed seeing the facts and numbers, it helped break down the big picture. It is easy to become overwhelmed with unnecessary data. Alyssa is able to simplify the important facts. After reading her blog I felt a new profound feeling that we need to fix this injustice.
