Yes, this is a very yin-yang kind of issue! Even better than teaching prisoners gardening skills is to teach all willing people, especially those in at-risk neighborhoods, organic gardening skills, and provide locations and opportunities where they can use those skills to make a living, start their own businesses, serve their community, and stay away from the temptations of crime! Better for everyone involved.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Great there is a green movement with prisons but true, not the kind of growth that balances what exists.
How about we look at it that it’s good they are at least learning something other than how to create a weapon?
My good friend’s husband works at a prison and he’s having a hard time dealing with prisoners who treat him like garbage throwing feces at him when he walks by, plotting his demise….you might imagine it gets to his head pretty bad as a non-incarcerated human.
Prison isn’t good for anyone involved. Gardening and composting are.
Yin and Yang.
