Great, while i'd admit re-trainning offenders with new skills so they can work once on the outside is a good idea, I can't see many IT employers letting ex-convicts loose on thier networks. Too much risk involved with personal data and privacy, and could you see an employer saying "hey i see you got the security+ qualification while inside. Thats just great!"
Convict, "Yeah well i was put inside cos i was caught trying to crack the password on a few bank accounts. I figured, hey if i had teh Security+ cert then maybe i woulndt have got caught!"

Bright idea.....?

 

Hah!!!!

Probably a lot safer be than signing up to a training provider. The term will be shorter at least...

 

Perhaps these ex cons will set up their own training provider

 

Well, for them, IT would probably stand I Take (fill in the blanks here.....drugs, your property, every state handout imaginable etc)

 

I think many of them already have.

 

At least they wont get out of prison and come and nick your car, they will probably try and rip you off after a crappy PC repair....

 

think i'll stick to being home taught, that way i'll only have to worry about my flat mate shanking me

shanking?

 

To shank someone, sticking a sharp thing, knife, nail, long bit of glass et al in someones gut/stomach/side.

 

yup, its shank or be shanked !
