I'm not hoping for a one-size-fits-all answer for every problem. This much is certain: Felony convictions seriously damage people's chances of reentering productive society. Young users who enter the legal system have a very hard time working their way out of it. I am hoping to offer rescuable people a way back into productive lives before their futures are irretrievably lost. Once we've tried, it's really up to them to do what they will with the chance they're offered.
Get out of my head.
Seriously, very well put.
