MORE THOUGHTS ON TURNING JAILHOUSE TO SCHOOLHOUSE

The article Turning jailhouse to schoolhouse "got us to thinking."

Wouldn't we be better off as a society if Dorchester County Sheriff Ray Nash had spent the "prisoner recreation funds" on literacy programs for "deadbeat dads" rather than on parties for his friends? Wouldn't the children who were not receiving child support have been better off if their "deadbeat dads" had received vocational training while incarcerated so that they could provide for their families upon release? If Sheriff Nash is a Christian as he claims to be, why didn't he use some of the money in the "prisoner recreation fund" to create a non-interest bearing loan program to assist the families of the "deadbeat dads" while they were incarcerated and unable to make child support payments.
