Let them make real money! Put into a trust that pays all fines! And saves for their release for rent and a vehicle. Better yet, get an auto body etc shop! Teach them how to repair, paint and reupholster cars! Have the public donate cars. Let 1-3 prisoners work on a car. Sell them and pay a reasonable price for all parts then split the car price into their accounts for release. Then before release let them pick a car. Make it like new, so they can drive home! Also pay all tickets and fines so they can reinstate a license or get one. Let the system also pay 1 years insurance out of their trust fund so they are totally legal for a year. Let them take grant writing classes in Prison. Make it mandatory. Any violence in the shop you are out of the program for 6 months, second offense a year. If the violence is committed in the shop. Maybe they will work with each other. The more cars they fix and sell the more money they leave with. Never let the Pridon take back more than parts and 10% handling fee! Because the prison already changes too much for phone calls and handling money! Not to mention they stock the employees freezers with goid food for free while the prisoners do not eat well. People donate cars to goodwill in California why not the prison?
