"If you send a guy to prison because he is irresponsible, violent, a criminal, you should want him to come out better than he was when he went in. That's common sense. That is to protect your own ass. If we don't help him to adjust to society, to want to be a part of society, he's going to rob or steal again. He's going to follow the most basic law in life, the law of the jungle."

The story is here.

What a great article and a great story. Makes me want to read that book and I have the feeling I'll want to share it with many of my friends in prison.
