Nice sentence：

1. (教育對減少在犯罪率有顯著的幫助）Education in prison is widely known to reduce recidivism. In America over 75% of prisoners are arrested within five years of release(刑滿釋放五年內(nèi)被捕）. A big reason is their inability to find work. This pattern is costly. For example, 1$ invested in prison education yield 5$ in taxpayer savings from plunging incarceration costs in the three years after release. By contrast, participation in some form of education, from porst-secondary to university, can reduce the rate of rearrest to varying degrees.
2. Prisons are using technology to improve inmates's education. Most inmates used to been barred from using internet-enabled devices, on security grounds. But unprecendented pandemic, which led to extended jail lockdowns, forced technical revolution in prison education. The authority in some states is rolling out laptop-based education platform, where inmates would obtain the equivalent of a secondary school diploma to study for professional licensing tests, or even for a few, to take college courses. This remote learning give prisoners more opportunity on a daily basis to make choices about their future, by allowing them to work on lessons trhat match their ability and interest.
