I think if the program is opt-in, that a lot of the inmates could appreciate such a program.

I know if I was in jail I'd like to partake in such a program, I could use more hands-on skills with electronics, and recycling is always a good cause :)

Some jail programs can be really good, like the program for helping inmates adopt and care for a rescue dog. There was also a program at a jail here for repairing and donating broken toys.

I think these kinds of wholesome efforts are very important to look for and support.

The problem is if someone besides the inmate is profiting off of the recycling. I would not feel bueno about that
