Prison to rehabilitate and not Punish 
my views on how prison could improve in the USA. i am inspired by a segment i saw on 60 minutes about German Prisons where inmates are treated with respect and dignity. the focus is rehabilitation and learning new skills and not on punishing them for their crimes/mistakes/negative behavior. The Recidivism rate in Germany is only 50% of what it is in the USA.   here is the 60 minutes story:  http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-germany-prisons-crime-and-punishment/
