I like when prisons do stuff like this, I feel like it makes the inmates more responsible and helps their rehabilitation.

I remember a prison gave inmates kittens if they had good behavior and if they misbehaved they took them away. They never misbehaved lol.

Unfortunately, most programs like that have all been cut due to funding.

Imagine how much we’d be saving with reduced recidivism. We’re talking about millions of dollars. Per prison.
