Allowed In Prison

Many inmates are there for a reason. They did horrible things. Maybe stealing or other criminal acts. Why would anyone want to waste thousands of dollars on giving inmates a college course(s), when they have wasted their life on doing terrible things against the law? Those college professors could go a teach real students a course. Therefore, prisoners shouldn’t be able to take college courses while in prison. Many of these inmates have done terrible things like murder, robbery at gunpoint, or rape. Many of the owners or operators,of business, are not going to hire these types of people. Why would someone hire a person of robbery to work at their convenience store? Then, there would be no use of a degree. But people who have done something …show more content…
They are thinking yes I am out I am free! Not really life is full of struggles up and down. Some owners are for giving prison inmates jobs but that seems rare to find people with space to do that. Many owners of a corporation company that requires degrees don’t plan to be hiring inmates. First, they know that they don’t have the degree to be qualified to do such a job. Second, many will not trust and be scared of them. Third, once they see their record, they are not going to hire someone who has been in prison. So the degree will end up being worthless because many of the jobs that allow inmates, they don’t need a degree to have that job. When one gets out, what will they do? If they have no job, clothes, shelter and food. They have become homeless. Once they are homeless they are no all by themselves. So that one degree they have got in prison had gone to waste. They now start begging and waiting for someone to give them something, like money. They didn’t prove themselves that they were worth the money. They could've gotten somewhere after prison but they didn’t. Even if they did it will be very difficult for one to get to a place where they could make a pretty good living. For any inmate it would never be worth the money if they are …show more content…
Prisoners are meant to be in prison for a reason, so what is the point of putting a formal felon on the streets with a degree? They have done nothing to prove themselves. They have rotted in prison for a few years. Obviously, inmates that are in the prison system for life should never be able to take college courses. Picture in your mind that you are a company owner and a felon comes up to you and says “May I apply, I have the degree.” What are you going to say? Probably no, you would think they are here to exploit my business or steal my products for himself. You would also think there is no way they have gotten a degree, when you have background checked him and see he was in prison. Would you put a felon with a degree at a job that you need credentials? If we would ever put inmates with a degree out there and there is that one person that hires him, what would happen? You could make a prediction that he might try and steal your product, either it is software, guns, product they could make drugs, weapons, or other things. If they got their hands on that, that whole gang is on top of every other gang or person. But there are probably people who would take that degree seriously, but the amount of people who will just abuse it instead of, taking the degree and do something good it, is very high. In the end each state would set aside a mere $1 million in a state corrections budget of $2.8 billion to finance
