The U.K. government is considering opening free colleges for young offenders in order to further educate them. Most U.K. young offenders are released from prison with an education level of a seven- to 11-year-old. The U.K. spends $380 million on about 1,800 young offenders. They don’t feel they make the most of the money spent.
