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.
