Incarcerated people have a lot to teach us about preventing crime and violence. I listened, and you can, too.

Summary
They could each describe to me a chaotic story that led to their first case by 16 or 17, and to incarceration.There were just these milestones along the way where, if we really pay attention to the kids out there now who are passing by those milestones, we can implement new policies to redirect them, and thereby do a lot more to decrease criminality and incarceration in our society.One fix for me would be universal pre-K, because it's cheaper to educate kids and shape their minds and their aspirations at an early age than it is to incarcerate them for 40 years.
