Prison Reform in Norway A Leadership Opportunity in the Public Square

Maybe as we look at the poverty cycle and the impact on the "opportunity gap" we should take a look at what Norway is doing now in their prisons.  Closing the Opportunity Gap should include what we do in prisons and what we do with ex prisoners as they mainstream into society.  Education  gaps need to be closed and that means GED reforms and pushes, post secondary career training, and baccalaureate opportunities.  All of this needs to begin with sentencing guideline reforms and related issues.    NYT http://nyti.ms/1HMmyZ2
