@therock : The rate of recidivism in the U.S. prison system is over 70%. Meaning over 70% of inmates released from prison will commit a crime and return back to prison. Staggering.
Here in Miami, we have one of the most hard core and unrelenting bootcamp prisons in the world. And our rate of recidivism is 8%. EIGHT PERCENT.
I told these young men 6 months ago when they first arrived that the life they once knew, was over. That they would get broken down to their core - physically and mentally in ways they never imagined - but I also told them they would never break. Big difference. They never broke and today they graduate and become free men. Better men.
Very proud of this program and the impact it has on our prison system and more importantly, caring about young lives that matter.
Congratulations men. Just like we talked about.. be a leader, be disciplined and earn that respect. It's all up to you.
