This article is about teenagers who abandon their education when they go into prison, and the system does little to support their return to their studies when they are released. Anita Wilson, of Lancaster University, is studying in how many criminals interrupts their educational progress of young offenders. Her findings are based on interviews with prisoners aged 18 to 21, many said that they were studying at high school and some at college before being incarcerated. She said that the Government and the media tended to link the educational laziness with a life of crime. Many prisoners referred to the way their education had been disrupted by imprisonment and others about how they still waneted to continue an education.
I can use this article in my paper beause its giving me an example why convicted criminals should receive an education.Also because this article talks about how many criminals commited a crime but they regret it because they actually want to come back to their education.
I think that the article you chose sounds interesting based on what you wrote. I like how the article says that the criminals want to learn, this will make your argument stronger.
