Why would they take advantage of it? Look at some of the comments. They are written off as soon as their first mistake. Whether they learn from it or not, a degree isn't going to get away from the never-ending cycle of employers tossing their resume as soon as they see their criminal history. We say we rehabilitate and that the system wants to help them learn from their mistakes; but society beats them down until they repeat their offenses nust to survive.
