The homes they get won’t be the best homes either. And the services they get out of prison probably won’t be stellar either. I think it would be cheaper to mandate prison reform than attempting to provide all these services a la cart via disjointed organizations.

Of course, private prisons complicate that immensely by having counter goals to what prisons should be and what prisoners need to succeed outside the institution. I’d love to see them become institutions of healing and education, though. I’d love my tax dollars to go to that.
