Prison Education Reduces Recidivism by Over 40 Percent. Why Aren’t We Funding More of It?

5. There was an article about this a week or two ago

I posted that I support these kinds of ideas. In fact, we should be hiring more college teachers to do this and actually providing benefits to teachers. Most adjunct faculty in the US are under paid and overworked. Schools don't hire full-time, they hire a crap load of adjuncts so they don't have to pay the benefits (and people think Papa John was an asshole, clearly he's not the only one gaming the system). A friend of mine teaches as an adjunct in the US and taught here in Korea for a long time. She's seriously thinking about coming back to get a job here.
