In Florida, Using Military Discipline to Help Veterans in Prison

QuoteQuote:
Florida is one of a handful of states that are rethinking their treatment of incarcerated veterans in the hopes of easing their transition back to society and then keeping them out of prison for good. In August, the state created a program that provides separate dorms in five prisons for honorably discharged military veterans who have no more than three years left on their sentences and who volunteer for it. California and Illinois have similar programs, all designed to address the needs of imprisoned veterans better.

For now, 300 of Florida’s 6,700 incarcerated veterans live in the dorms, a number that state officials intend to increase. The state prison system houses 101,000 inmates in all.

Sounds like worth trying? Besides, an extra break to those who have been in the service would seem fair?

If it works, maybe it's something that could be tested on the general population as well. Maybe what they should have done 40 years ago instead of dumping them in the real military and giving the services the nightmare they ended up dealing with.
