I understand that you couldn't give us a figure for the number of inmates who have been successful in life, or how many have been rehabilitated. But when we look at inmates when they arrive, I am sure there are some with whom it is more difficult. I am sure that some are more recalcitrant when it comes to getting them to do work or whatever.
Based on your 18 years of experience, can you say that when you take an inmate, in a large majority of cases, at the end of their apprenticeship, you are satisfied that you have made them, or helped to make them, a better person? Are you convinced that the person is fit to return to society? That they have become an asset to society, and not a cost?
