[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2363565, member: 5412"] I was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth which borders one side of the Leavenworth Federal Pen. Several of my neighbors in the apt complex were guards, or admin staff there, and at the Ks. State pen in Lansing, a suburb of Leavenworth. We had discussions about the rehabilitation programs that were attempted at the time. At the Federal pen, Univac computer company put in a work center where inmates could get training in real world skills to help them on their return to society, as well as a clothing manufacturing company that was under government contract to produce military uniforms. Sadly both failed after a year or two, as they couldn't get inmates that wanted to work. Even though they got paid as well, there was no incentive to work when they got a dry bunk and three squares a day. Oddly enough, the only program that did work was the prison farm program. They made an attempt to be somewhat self sustaining by raising dairy cattle, beef cattle, goats and chickens. The inmates loved those animals. Probably the only thing in their lives that wasn't threatening to them. [/QUOTE]
