Ex-prisoners are full of valuable experiences, some of them find their way back to normal life and turn to be positive individuals. There is an ongoing arguation about employing their ability to prevent teenagers from crimes. I opine that despite all of doubts, they can help a lot on this issue, however, some educations are neccassarily.
On the one hand, those who have spend part of their life in prison, even if it happend to be good persons in the end, lack essential abilities to teach teenagers and also a closer contact between them and teenagers, may normalize that type of life. Teaching teenagers is a comples issue, anyone who have to knowledge is not suitable to teach them. In most countries, there are teacher training courses for tutors who have the information, but may lack the ability to contact pupils. As a pundit musician is not ready to be high school teacher without any further educations, an ex-prisoner who is a good person now, is not ready to teach. May be some teaching courses will be beneficial. Also, keeping children in touch with those who have commited a crime years ago, and live a normal life now, may transfer a simple message to kids: Consequences of doing a crime is not disasterous. Students should be surrounded by successful examples to be learn living like them unconsiously.
On the other hand, letting those who lost years in prisons to sometimes help the school consultant, may be a valuable chance for them to be adopted by society again and they could make themselves good examples of how destructive commiting a crime could be for indiciduals life. Finding a job for a prisoner is almost impossible, and it’s vital for everybody, including ex-prisoners, to work and earn for their life. As well, they need to be respected and adored to feel how important they are to the community. Letting them talk in schools will make them self-confident and prestigious. Teachers and school workers are famous to be loved by teenagers who wil become important part of society soon. Imagine how cheerful a person could be to be loved by important figuers of next the generation, because of having regular talks in most reputated schools. Moreover, law offenders, no matter how cruel they seem, were not born with bad traits genetically, they raised wrongly. They could tell stories of how great the life could have been for them, if they were well-brought-up individuals.
In conclusion, I believe that there are far more benefits in letting ex-prisoners talk to teenagers and aware them of crime hazards than prevent children to face them. My personal suggesstion is to educate them well and filter those who might transfer inappropriate message to the kids.
