A Canadian prison reform program expands prisoner education with nearly 2000 inmates taking correspondence courses. Deputy Commissioner Joseph McCully notes the effort aims to fit inmates for useful work after release and improve living conditions in penitentiaries.
Results of permitting prisoners to take correspondence courses show the plan is worthwhile. A survey at Collins Bay penitentiary Kingston Ontario found nearly eighty per cent of those in vocational education did not revert to crime after release. The text notes criminals often lack training for honest work and that suited skills lead to happy, successful post release lives.
Mr. McCully reports that restricting personal liberty is the harshest punishment for prisoners and proper treatment in prison can yield better citizens. He says the new rehabilitation focused policy is showing excellent results and that Canada-wide interest in prison reform is paying off with progress on this social issue.
