Therein lies the main problem. Jails are full of uneducated guys and
some will jump on the low education rates in jails to claim that
educating people would better equip them to live a productive live.
Most of them had the opportunity to attend school and get a proper
education but they weren't interested. They skipped classes, fooled
around in class, neglected their studies and dropped out. They were
given the opportunity but they weren't interested. They would rather
have a good time than sit in school. Let's face it, people of some
cultures have place much more value in education than others.
