Launch HN: Promise (YC W18) – Cost-effective, more humane alternative to jail
I&#x27;ve been to at least 10 different county jails and to Florida State Prison twice, and I feel like I know already what you&#x27;re biggest problem is going to be...<p>It&#x27;s going to be the one(s) that screw it all up for the many.<p>All it&#x27;s going to take is one criminal in your program to go out and kill and rob an elderly couple for society to force the politicians to end your noble and well-meaning experiment and put those people back behind bars.<p>I&#x27;ve seen it over and over in my many years of being locked up...programs designed to give inmates and convicts a shot at bettering themselves are totally abused by a few totally selfish and uncaring dickwads that actually enjoy the fact they just fucked it up for everyone else.<p>But regardless of that, I think your program holds great promise and wish you nothing but success with it.
