What about educational programs for the men?

[@SelenaThompson-rt5fs]

They have graduations in some places too! It's just that some jails and prisons don't allow it to be publicized. It greatly helps men when they exit prison (for those not in for life) rehabilitate themselves with a steady, well paying job. I do wanna see a male graduation publicized though! I know many of my male family members who graduated in prison and it has greatly helped them be good individuals today :))
