I agree.  In this age of  computer data bases a person can no longer "start over" nor can we continue to view incarceration as the only option.    Also, I was intrigued by Coghill's statement that we are sending these young Alaskans to outside prisons where they become well educated in the criminal life style and bring those lessons back home.  My concern is that future legislatures cannot be bound to fund these programs that might reduce the  recidivism and we wind up worse off than we are now.
