Prisoners are encouraged to take courses on e-learning in prison. Prisoners can do their learning in their free time, without missing out on other structured activities and can choose from a wide range of courses on e-learning. E-learning have many advantages for prisoners that staying in prison. Besides, it can take a fresh approach to learning and learning upon release.
Other than that, it will give prisoners choice and opportunity to develop new skills and gain qualifications which will strengthen their employment prospects after leaving and working in the outside world. Some of the prison is providing the relax environment to allow prisoners to build their skills and knowledge.
In my opinion, taking courses on e-learning in prison is really useful for prisoners. It can makes them spend their time wisely. In my imagination, prisoners keep fighting and killing in prison. It because they can do nothing in prison, so just can do such things to spend their times. But all of this just my imagination, may be i watched a lot of movie that telling us "one day in prison equals to uncountable days in hell".
Moreover, i totally agree it will increase opportunity of employment upon leaving. Nowadays, there are many learning centre that offerred e-learning in prison. Unfortunely, in Malaysia there are no organization or learning centres offerred e-learning in prison.

ReplyDeletewow its quite interesting! prisoner can study its my first heard of it. Anyway as my opinion, the most important thing is the society willing to accept the prisoner, otherwise, no matter how hard they study, nothing in return.
ReplyDeleteyea...this is really good...at least the prisoners know what's going on in the outside world as well...a good way to help them to recover or make good use of the time spent in the prison...at least they don't really miss out much in the sense of acknowledgment..well...of course its still up to the society to accept them or not...but at least they gained something priceless...
ReplyDeleteHey, this is really good. Prisoners can now do something productive in jail. Keeping them busy can actually decrease the crime rate as well as they will spend less time thinking of something sinister or a plan to get back at people who placed them in jail in the first place when they actually leave prison. Sadly E-learning is not widely used in Malaysia. Talented and skillful prisoners will never be wasted again ! :D Thanks for the info
