That program is for the Federal prison system only, and having worked in NY State's prison system, in uniform for 25 years, I would rather have a program where qualified convicts are provided with an avenue to better themselves, than simply dumping them out on the street because of Covid, closing prisons to save money, or releasing repeat violent offenders back out on the street within hours of their arrest so they can re-offend again...all of which goes on in New York State now.
I was a part of prison ministry, and I still communicate with a former inmate, to this day.
He’s a brother in Christ, now.
