Education in Jail

I went to a confrence that was offered by a man who wrote a book about bank robbery.  He talked about all of the issues that he face while he was growing up and what he thought pushed him to do what he did.  One thing that made me very upset was that by being in jail he had access to the very best and most current issues of literature and other educational materials for free.  He was also offered the opportunity to take classess and get eucation from professors from the Universities of Yale, Harvard, and Princeton.  I really think that it is very unfair that we are not able to reach those professors easily but with great sacrifices.  That I feel is not fail.
