Mark Bey<BR/><BR/>Eddie this is Mark Bey from the ABA. You have joined the convict work<BR/> force committee. I just wanted to send you an article I wrote about<BR/> employing non voilent criminals as carpenters, Landscapers etc to rebuild<BR/> New Orleans instead of rotting in jail.<BR/> http://progressatallcost.blogspot.com/2007/05/convict-workforce.html<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Let me know what you think of the plan I have got some Ideas on<BR/> starting the initial work crews using black churches to train these young<BR/> non voilent criminals in carpentry then deploy them down to New Orleans<BR/> instead of having them sit enjoy. After we finalized details of the<BR/> plan, find at least one church who is willing to host one of these programs<BR/> then we can go to the goverment for faith based initiative money. <BR/> <BR/> Remember the goverment is already wipping egg off of its face about<BR/> the prior Katrina debacle, So we should be able to apply pressure to the<BR/> proper goverment orginazations to get funding if we can get a credible<BR/> black church to host a pilot program. <BR/> <BR/> Eddie like you said we dont have to reinvent the wheel we can use<BR/> existing programs and go after appropriate goverment and private funding<BR/> to make this happen.Dangerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881999761526327887noreply@blogger.com
