I wish more prisons would spend more time developing programs to give people skills to help when they get out.

Inspiring story. My uncle was in prison for most of my childhood, when he got out my dad helped train him for a job in IT. It wasn’t easy since the idea of making money using a skill was so foreign to him. I can’t help but think a program like this would have ease his transition.
