Most criminals are lawbreakers
because they started at a disadvantage in life: they were poor or victims of
broken homes or racism or are mentally ill or learning disabled.
They fail or drop out of school and
never recover. Then, once jailed, virtually nobody wants to rehabilitate them.
I want to create a university that
accepts criminals, gives them food, shelter, clothing, remedial classes, mental
health counseling, religious counseling. Then it provides them with a first class
university education, then it hires them as administrators, professors, and staff
or finds them jobs in the public or private sector. I want them trained in the liberal
arts, theology, business, communication, law, science, health, mathematics,
etc…
I want them to develop a respect for
the law and law enforcers, and if they are properly educated, law enforcement
will learn to respect them, as well. No more violent episodes between criminals
and police.
In essence, I want them
to be university men and women, not bums.
As a result of all this planning, I
am pursuing a master’s degree in Literature and in Education Administration, as
well.
It’s time to turn this society
around. Wish me luck!
