When I was in school at SUNY New Paltz, I lived down the road (although, "down the road" in those boonies means at least a few miles) from that correctional center. As part of a certain curriculum I was building for myself, I performed (music major) there a couple of times, and I got to meet with some of the inmates who impressed the shit out of me. Some of them told me they were thankful to end up in the position they were in because the education they were being provided wouldn't have been available to them otherwise. The recidivism rate going down for these guys brings a tear to my eye. It's a broken system, but things like this bring awareness, and hopefully our country can make some serious changes in the PIC.
