The Department of Corrections in California is testing a new model aimed at rehabilitation in hopes to lower violence behind bars and cut down the rate of reoffending after release. NBC’s Steve Patterson visited a Valley State Prison to see how the state is implementing the changes.

Jap5 stuck doing his time in prisneyland..
They should have based it on Salvador’s prison instead.
🤷🤷
I went into Lee County prison in S.C. to teach critical thinking after an altercation on April 15, 2018, between multiple gangs left 7 incarcerated citizens dead. I co-created a program called The Academy of Hope. I went inside for 12-hours a day, 5-days a week, for 11-months —it was one of the MOST fulfulling experiences that I've ever had in my life. Seeing this report really brings joyful tears to my eyes. Bless the good and intelligent people who are implementing this program. It WILL ultimately prove to be the salvation of our country.
Lets hope they are feeding better food there too👍
Everyone needs structure .
Join the military
I once heard from someone that being sent to prison only taught the individual how to be a better criminal, and not a better person. This approach feels like a smarter approach–for those incarcerated, as well as for all of society.
At first I thought this is a joke, but I think this is truly needed. I’m so glad California is finally doing something right for a change.
This is the best I have seen in prison reform. Kudos to Cali.
Leave it to California to give criminals free vacations🤡
It’s plenty of punishment to be locked up behind those walls and no access to normal life freedoms, I mean doesn’t that seem like a lot in itself?? The idle mind is the Devil work shop, engaged in healthy activities creates health
This model doesn't work specifically in the United States because our families and communities are broken…and they are released back into the same crap areas they came from.
This looks better than my daily life.
This is stupid
Finally, rehabilitation is possible for inmates. Of course, there will always be those people that look at this video and say great they’re living the highlife which is idiotic. What they don’t understand is not everyone qualifies to go to the prison like this only those that have a real shot of getting out who will be in dire need of rehabilitation something prisons in the US say they do but do none of. Speaking from experience I got worse when I got out, not better in hindsight, having a program like this would have changed things for me when you allow people to see that there’s a different world out there most not always all will want to change, society needs to give them an opportunity to change.
Yoooo was that Jap5 at 2:42 ?
This is a great program. This has worked in Norway, and I am sure it will work here as well. Gives me hope for the future. 😮
Big W.
Time 104 What is he doing to that machine with the door open and sparks flying?
Doesnt seem like theres many victims in this thread 🤔
I'd have to see actual proof to believe that this could work. They are getting free food and housing while their children and victims get nothing. I've met way too many people that enjoy jail/prison because of the lack of responsibilities you have in there.
KAMALA HARRIS put more black men in prison when she was California AG than any AG in history. Look it up.
This is a vacation.
Has to be earned, and revoked for bad behavior. Other wise word will get out and criminals won’t care about committing crimes like they do now!
Im sure any Republican gaslighting trader would hate how well this is working
Great to see America is finally starting to move into the 21st Century. Going to prison/losing your freedom IS the punishment. "Punishing" an inmate is an archaic ideology. You get a lot more accomplished with sweets verses a bullwhip.
It’s sad that most of the people that are in the jail or the same people that they enslave the so-called Hispanic, black, native
weird, they took all these programs out of schools and the prison population skyrocketed, now they're bringing these programs into prisons to fix the problem they started to begin with.
it's good for the people in prison, but maybe we bring these programs back to schools
ayee nice handball/ wallball court
norway has different demographics 👀
Finally; A progerssive idea from California I can agree with.
Now im happy with all the taxes I pay in California,this is really awesome 🎉
Crime suddenly skyrockets so homeless can get into prisneyland
