First... let me correct something.. they can read... I have given them books before... but there is no library of any sort available for them in the prisons I have visited.

Secondly... why get sarcastic? Just because things are different where I visit people doesn't mean that anybody is liar. I don't understand the need to do that.

Well... one would think that... at the most basic level... an education would be a great idea.

Wouldn't you agree?

They, of course, need religious rehabilitation. That is something the church could work to provide more of (we certainly don't want the state providing it)

But.. as I said... the most basic of steps toward rehabilitation would be to educate them to the point that they would be able to find themselves a place in society when they get out. Not only should education be made available... one might consider whether, as part of their sentence, each one would be required to attain a certain level of education.
