[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743141, member: 23371"] My own son is in prison and has been on and off since he was a teen. From my perspective we all, in prison or not, have to take the hand we're dealt and make the best of it. In prison he has more limited choices of improving himself than if he were not in prison. That does not mean that there are not options. As Copa said a very small number of inmates can take correspondence courses towards a degree. But every prison has a library and every prison allows you to send books. He can become self-taught on anything he likes. He can do all kinds of service. He can barter to learn languages from other inmates. He can write and submit articles and books to the world. Its all about what he wants to do. Obviously not a lot of inmates are self-motivated. So they don't take advantage of the opportunities. One example might be the number of inmates who become self-taught lawyers and paralegals when they get out. In the world of criminal law there are a fair number. [/QUOTE]
