Why aren't convicts being used in the US military?

[bottom74bottom]

Aside from the notion that training criminals is opening pandora's box,  I think this would be a great idea. Actual reformation through service beats sticking these guys in gen. pop and watching them become worse criminals than they were when they got convicted. For some benefits and a chance at freedom (not even a salary, just benefits) a lot of guys would actually be up for it. That would beat the hell outta having a draft as well.. Just saying..

They don't want prisoners to better themselves even if it would better the country.

Not a bad idea though yo

With a psych evalution, maybe this might just work.

this would be a huge liability, theres just too much that could go wrong.
but it would be nice if they could make it work. I do agree that letting them rot in the prison system rarely really reforms them tho

Remember what happened in The Longest Yard during the first practice?


Imagine that with guns.
