Inmate Rehabilitation -- The New Caregivers

I just read this article from The New York Times:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46531464/ns/health-alzheimers_disease/#.T0qf3xy-fmw.  It highlights the Gold Coats program in a California prison system where inmates are being trained to care for other inmates suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's.  As a Polly Anna, I think this is a remarkable tribute to the true "correction" that prison can offer.  I believe that this article, along with articles about training puppies for those in need and teaching inmates real-life skills, highlight the hope for humanity and why we should be hesitant to send someone to death.
