Why does it need to be just programming? I don't understand this attitude, whether in schools or jail, program, program, program.

I program too, its my job so I get it provides a living but my God do we get myopic at times. Other careers, good ones too are out there.

"Programming" in this context refers to having rehabilitation programs in place for prisoners, not computer programming.

I believe programming in this context means "scheduled (often educational) activities", not coding.
