RE: A Geek in Prison & Socioeconomic Observations Mashup - A Life Series by Charlie Shrem (Part 8 - InterPrison Exchange & Keyboard Training)
Thanks as always for a fantastic story. I love the idea of supplying printed out keyboards to practice on.
I'd love to see more basic computer programming skills in prison. Maybe just using MIT's Scratch as a starting point. Humans love the process of creation. It drives us in so many ways. It could be fulfilling for inmates to build their own programs, games, and the like within the prison environment to not only enjoy a moment of escape, but also a much-needed sense of control.
