More than 90% of prisoners are eventually released. Only 22% of state prisoners have any postsecondary education, which is required by a majority of jobs. Formerly incarcerated people aren't able to find decent jobs, which increases the cycle of crime.

By educating inmates, prisons can become a safer place for everyone | Opinion

A bill that promotes prison education would also help create safer prisons for my colleagues working in correctional facilities.
