We hear a lot of bad stuff about what goes on in Texas, and some criticism is valid. However, as we used to say before the invention of digital timepieces, "even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
Here is something going on in Texas that should be going on everywhere:
Prison Program Helps Keep Inmates From Reoffending By Equipping Them With Business Skills
IMHO - incarceration should serve three main purposes:
1. remove dangerous people from the general population
2. balance out the emotional need humans have for justice
3. (most important) rehabilitate, so that former offenders can re-enter society in state which is better than the one they were in formerly.
It is #3 which we, as a society, constantly neglect, much to our ongoing misery, while this program addresses #3 in a fantastic way.
