Mr. Santos
In your article entitled “Media Attention May Promote Prison Reform,” you indicate that if the media shows the reasons why prisons fail and why there is a high level of recidivism then it can promote prison reform.
My questions to you are:
(1.) If televison networks were to consider your idea, what would you recommend the televison network(s) to include in the show to be able to promote prison reform?
(2.) You state that there should be prison reforms, but do you think that there should also be post-prison or after prison reforms which can help priosners, who have just come out of prison, integrate into society? This can be, for example, by offering them jobs.

I really enjoyed reading your article and your book and I have come to the conclusion that something has to be done to help prisons be a better instituion that helps citizens be law abiding and does not make them fail. I thank you very much for making us understand corrections and for taking the time to answer my questions.
Sincerely,
Erika Gonzalez
