...other parts of the country where similar programs are underway. Parents generally don't think too highly of their kids going to prison, even if just for a few hours, and the criminal justice system has yet to accept the idea that prisoners can serve as constructive role models for youthful offenders. The prison bureaucracy in Massachusetts tolerates the program at Walpole but isn't particularly eager to spread the idea to other institutions. Neither is the Department of Youth Services...
