How formerly incarcerated people from ‘Prisneyland’ are doing in their new jobs

[@jermelpurse3018]

We are a country that can’t wait to put people in jail but when it comes to helping people so that they don’t go to jail in the first place with programs that promote education no we don’t wanna do that. We would rather spend $50,000 a year keeping someone incarcerated than $20,000 a year so that they never have to come back and can be become productive members of society. We know programs like this work because for some odd reason other countries that send people to prison don’t have repeat offenders. They don’t run their prisons like businesses either that’s a whole Nother story but for some odd reason, all of our western allies send people to jail when they commit crimes, but those people usually don’t go back

What do you expect. Corporate Oligarchs run this country. Dog eat dog society.

[@firstlast8258]

Put yourself in prison

[@YoungMoe-xx8jq]

It all starts at home parents need to parent

[@YoungMoe-xx8jq]

A lot of these folks have come from broken or single mother homes

[@f430ferrari5]

@@YoungMoe-xx8jqwell you stated the actual problem. Where are all these sperm donors who abandon their kids. They are codd led. Weak. No accountability.

[@san6788]

its great a follow up was done and even better to hear these two are doing great hopefully many many more are just as successful

[@katiesioux7757]

Not every convict is a monster but not every convict can be rehabilitated

[@jobierod26]

Everyone is able to rehabilitate when they have the time and look into there inner character. Good job to see this happen. Not everyone is a bad guy in prison. They just need someone to lead them

[@bobroberts2371]

Note that an inmate needs to be on good behavior in a REGULAR JAIL for something like 10 years before they are even considered for the program, this skews the numbers. I'd like to see the program take in random people and see how well that goes.

[@StopCensoring-fq5fl]

This is good and similar to the European model of incarceration. Residivism rates are high but what this program does Is allows space for a favorable outcome at EOS and it gives the person hope for a future after incarceration. Not to mention saving taxpayers money and saving the judicial system from utilizing resources unnecessarily! Stats show that over half of inmates are on the wash, rinse and repeat cycle, however this model of incarceration is designed to decrease and stop the cycle. Thank You

FYI - Norway doesn't have large gangs, drug cartels, & immigration compared to the U.S.

[@user-ku1np8bs8n]

That is such a subtly racist comment. Vile.

[@mg-s6620]

Shutuuuuup 🙄 Norway was the large gang, ask England 😂 I hate how short sighted and ignorant gringos are.

[@DonaldReape-f8j]

CA prisons are also segregated by race which is different than Norway and troubling in 2024.

[@user-ku1np8bs8n]

@ Do you think those things just materialize use out of thin air?! No they’re created by social conditions which means social conditions can stop them too.

[@kaygomez1927]

Great follow up thank you

[@PamH1955]

I totally support this effort!

[@melissabrodie1484]

I generally vote and am somewhat conservative, but I am 100% , 1 million% on board with this program! Spread it across the US ! These are human beings, not animals. Give them the chance to learn, grow, and prove too themselves that they CAN contribute to society 😁. Rehabilitation absolutely, instead of throwing them in a "general population" prison that continues the" gang mentality" and has 50% or higher recidivism.

[@ariellarahimi8233]

Great story! ❤

[@thenotoriousgryyn342]

Good 👍

[@icyspringer]

Godbless Francisco 🙏🏻🥶

[@firstlast8258]

Gawd bless Murica 🤡 🖕

[@mg-s6620]

Beautiful ❤

[@MPR2]

Are the prisons still privately owned?

[@teeconsigliano7631]

US isn't Norway and CA is no model. People being rehabilitated is the exception. CA mostly just releases criminals with no rehabilitation and non-criminals have to fend for themselves.

[@sharonevans1257]

It's a good idea!

[@chiccenhawkc]

Trust me prison program don’t work I seen many people come in n out of prison 😂

[@Jake_RF]

If you're a knuckle head it won't work, if you want to stay out it's great

[@213funnyp]

The key is simple, stay away frm old friends.work.home.work

[@JoseContreras-mv5yz]

It's the people not the program then.

[@213funnyp]

@JoseContreras-mv5yz yes and no, my buddy hooked me up w a job, we were driving home frm work and because his brothers were gang members, the cops said he was affiliated that made me violate my parole, for being with someone who wasnt a gang member but "affiliated" I did 8 months straight for that. The judge could of given me 12 months but since the circumstances gave me 8. It was a gang crash unit so i think they just were trying get quota

[@RollerBladingSuxs]

The thing is crime is supposed to be paid. Not rewarded

[@32srt32]

teach them to fish and they can eat forever!

[@jamesfields7]

So how much more are we spending to give one extra person a career working with prisoners? I'm not convinced of anything positive for a taxpayer from this report.
