I wonder on giving our prisoners TVs. I spoke to a past inmate at the county jail today. He spoke of sitting around all day, not much more to do than to watch TV. He spoke of how some liked the concept of going to jail, since that is they have to do.
Put your feet up, kick back, and watch TV. Ah, the life of a prisoner.
There was not a single rehabilitation program for him, he said.
Get them working on the GED. Let them take college online lessons. Encourage them to work on talents and worthwhile hobbies. Let them read classic novels which teach morals.
Whatever activity they are involved in, don't let them just watch TV all day.
