How to Rehabilitate a Convict: The Process
Dr. Reymon Ethnasios and William Noguera discuss the power of education and the process of rehabilitating a convict. Within the confines of William's prison courtyard classrooms, he encourages his fellow inmates to accept responsibility and shed the negative behavior patterns that led them there. Not all prisoners are receptive to William’s guidance; one must possess a sense of hope. In California, policymakers have reevaluated parole requirements for individuals who committed crimes when they were 25 and younger. While violent offenders should face consequences, those who are striving towards self-betterment deserve a chance at redemption.
