Judging by most of the quotes from the criminals in the original article, these are the exact ex-cons that we shouldn't listen to.

Yeah cops are going to keep a more watchful eye on you vs. other people, you already proved yourself capable of carrying out crimes, and got some serious time. But stay clean and prove yourself and things will dissolve in time, but they wont disappear overnight. It's about trust, which they broke, and now can slowly earn it back. It seems like the prison system gives them enough as is, we don't need to turn it into a free of charge state university.

It's Von Ortiz...we are from the German Von Oritz family outside of Bamberg...when they came to PR they switched the "t" and the "i"..I dunno if it was on purpose or a misspelling.

They are ex-cons. Does being an ex-con make you a criminal for the rest of your life? Treating them that way is part of the problem.

If this is a real attempt at doing a controlled study of how to change our criminal justice system to lower the US's extremely high recidivism rate (already in conjunction with a huge proportional prison population), then I can support this. Of course, the important part is that this would have to be a controlled study.

The South Bronx and Texas probably have different 3rd grade standards. Something tells me I'd rather send my kids to school in Texas.
