60 Minutes feature on a prison college program run by Bard College.
A liberal's dream--except that a liberal arts education can improve someone, but only intellectually--it can't make him better morally. And one does not commit an unjust act in the first place because they didn't receive a liberal arts education. So, if a private college or university wishes to use its resources in such a way, that's fine--but don't expect the community to subsidize such efforts. As it is, prisoners should not be living off the taxpayers but growing their own food, etc.
