Today we will be discussing the truth Behind the failures of rehabilitation in the penal system. There are many prisoners who, when incarcerated try to be as productive as possible under the circumstances. They want to find prison jobs, spend time in the library learning and even learning how to research their own cases. They want to take educational courses and those who are in for life sometimes want to give educational programs offered by approved educational providers to those prisoners who are soon be released or who are not serving a life sentence.
Therefore, prisoners in for life or long-term sentences seek higher educational correspondence courses through universities throughout the country, that are accredited and approved by the Bureau of Prisons. Some of these correspondence courses may be free, low-cost to prisoners or they may have a fee as most colleges. Unfortunately, when incarcerated, prisoners cannot generally get scholarships or any other funding to pay for their higher ed correspondence courses, although family members will most likely help in this area, because their incarcerated loved one is trying to be productive while behind the walls and there is always hope that someday their loved one serving life or LWOP will be released.
But there are problems in the penal system, with prisoners being prevented from rehabilitation. Prisoners are targeted, set up, denied all requests for any hope of bettering themselves while incarcerated. Many are retaliated against when they have to resort to other means of the problematic resolutions.
