My son got arrested for letting a lot of “minor” traffic tickets that he let go until he finally got a warrant issued and he is in jail for 6 months.
The inmates are released back into the general population with no rehabilitation required or even available. My idea: Since the percentage of inmates in this correctional facility (privately owned) have no High School Diploma (92% at this facility) Why not make G.E.D classes mandatory and require them to get the G.E.D.? Because the percentage of inmates who return to this facility 2 times or more is 73%
how would the average taxpayer voice their idea? I know it would probably be up to a Judge making this part of their incarceration requirements/ I know very little about politics. I would love to know how this aspect of the law works.
Additional details: You see, my son was a high school drop-out couldn’t get a job, got bored…got into trouble, but I know NOW that he was bored in school therefore just quit. He is very intelligent, this is his second time in jail. Can’t get into a college without a high school eqiv., now his drivers license is revoked. His father and I have been talking about his future and how it looks bleek. So, that’s how the idea came about. Because the way we look at it, there needs to be a way to offer some kind of “answer”. (Yes, he was raised right. our daughter graduated with honors and went to college.)
Its just a viscious cycle that I am struggling with. He now knows that he should have listened to us and tells us this, but with no education, no dr. license,,,,,aarrrggggg
