PRISONERS TO GET VARSITY-LEVEL COURSES

According to the excerpt dated 3 March, 2013 taken from news Strait Times which is prisoners to get varsity-level courses, I was agree with the government that prisoners should be given a chances to improve themselves. They need to be helped to make sure that they will be somebody for themselves, their family and especially for their beloved country. As a good society, we should give a support towards them and need to help them while they need us. In my opinion, everyone should have a second chance in their life. It is because, we can prove to the others that we can make a change in our life. In my opinion, this program is good for ex-prisoners because there are no other college will receive them to study there while they know their status. So, by launched the programs all of the ex-prisoners can have a chances to further their studies. It is good for them and their country because statistics shown that department had succeeded in reducing the level of repeat (those returning after being released from jail) to only 7.97 per cent last year, which is lower than the 10 per cent estimated by the ministry.  So, it is a good news for us as a society. We should be proud because of our government already have a potential solution towards this problem. Even though this particular program might need a lot of money but it give a good impact towards them which is they can try to improve themselves.
