<p>At a Connecticut maximum security prison, lifers mentor young
inmates in a German-style unit<br>
</p>
<p>A rehabilitation-based program at a maximum security prison is
relying on older, respected inmates serving life sentences to help
18 to 25 year-old inmates prepare for life beyond prison walls</p>

<div dir="ltr">Exactly Sharon. That's the dilemma. You get out and
can't find a decent job. What do you do? Fast food or crime?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think there needs to be actual education in the prison
system especially for those who have the possibility of
parole/release. We can either spend some money training,
teaching, and educating people or we can pay for them to come
back and live off the state or get released and commit more
crimes.</div>

rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">FWIW, I've volunteered
with Fairfax County, VA Police Department for 10+ <br>
years. I know -- and in many cases have ridden with --
officers from <br>
patrol to chief. I chaired my police station's Citizens
Advisory <br>
Committee and serve on the Chief's Advisory Council. I'm
on a task force <br>
developing policies for public safety use of drones --
it's about 40 <br>
people, including police, fire&EMS, fire marshal,
county attorney, FAA, <br>
Audubon Society, business organizations, citizen/civic
groups, and head <br>
of Virginia ACLU. Output so far is a draft 35+ page manual
and all the <br>
info is on <a href="http://fairfaxcounty.gov/uas"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">fairfaxcounty.gov/uas</a>.<br>
<br>
There are 18,000+ law enforcement agencies in the country
so it's <br>
misleading to generalize about "the police" or "law
enforcement". <br>
Fairfax cops I know are honest/honorable/motivated to do
the right <br>
thing. Over the years, policies have changed -- sometimes
in response to <br>
national trends, sometimes to community
involvement/pressure, sometimes <br>
to FCPD problems. There's pretty good transparency and
responsiveness. <br>
Fairfax (1200+ officers) isn't Mayberry or NYC (30,000+
officers) -- <br>
there's no reason NOT to talk to police here; in fact
middle/high <br>
schools all have School Resource Officers whose job is to
TALK to kids <br>
-- not arrest them.<br>
<br>
I'm not claiming that everywhere's as fortunate as Fairfax
-- just <br>
suggesting that all-inclusive advice about police can be
misleading.<br>
