If we are to reform our prisoners, we should tailor them while in prison to be the kind of persons we want them to be when they get out. We should treat their time in prison as practice time, time to practice being what we want them to be when they get out.
And, what does that mean? It means we should have them working in jobs they can have when they have when they get out. It means we should have them interacting with their family members in kind and loving ways as the family members visit them. It means we should develop interests in them in prison that they can take with them when they leave.
Prison should be a time for practice, a time to practice being what society wants you to be.
