Some modification of the following might not be that bad of an idea:

[quote begin]
n a related move, COMPAQ has entered into a 5-year pact with the Home Office in
the United Kingdom and the Department of Corrections in Texas, whereby high-end
servers and storage systems will be built by inmates. It is estimated that this program will
improve COMPAQ's gross margins by 9%, while at the same time providing inmates
with an opportunity, when they have served their sentence, to join COMPAQ's corp of
27,000 consultants.
[quote end]

Some prisons over here are training convicts to groom pets. Why not train them for decent paying jobs for a change? It might give some of them incentive to go completely 'clean' once they get released. It would also help defray the costs of keeping someone behind bars.
