(V): I used to work in group home for juvenile, non-violent offenders. Often they did learn to be better criminals - "graduating" from the non-violent to the violent. I think there needs to better options for the non-violent offender than prison time. Probation, community service, counseling and/or house arrest come to mind. It would not only save the money of prison time, but hinder the criminal "education" they get in our jails.
