This is not about punishment. It is about comparing resumes. Who would you hire if there was a choice? A person with a resume showing a degree obtained while working full time, or someone who spent the same time in prison for rape or armed robbery. Who would you choose to punish?

A business is not a social rehabilitation agency. They are in business to make a profit. When I go to a store, I expect to be helped when I have a question, not murdered.

The problem is that our prisons are too cushy, prisoners should not be allowed to congregate, shouldn’t have any access to TV.

Prison should be a place to be feared. Gang members see prison as a part of the ritual, a way to get street cred. That’s has to change.

At the micro-economic level, true. At the macro-economic level, businesses make a profit by selling, and they need people with MONEY to sell to. Who are those people? People that work for businesses....

Maybe it isn't the role of business to be a social outfit, but would you rather have FedGov step in and handle it?
