Won’t my money go to bad people who are ungrateful, unpleasant and menacing?
, With 0 Comments, Category:No. However, the stereotypical prison inmate you see on television does exist. He is selfish, rude, belligerent, arrogant, angry, irresponsible, unsocialized and quite frankly, a menace. But, please understand that he is most likely among the 54% of the prison population that lack their high school diploma or GED. Without question, he is not interested in working to earn his college degree. So, it is unlikely that your donor dollars will end up benefiting this individual.
Rather, dollars donated to provide higher education for prisoners benefits only 2% of the prison population. These are normally younger offenders, often first time offenders, who have not had the benefit and upbringing that most of us have received. They simply need a break and a helping hand. This is their opportunity. This is their chance; and you can help.
