Criminals Sent To Crime School

NEW ORLEANS, LA (AheadOfNews.com) - In a controversial new program, some criminals in Louisiana will be going to crime school - to learn how to avoid risky mistakes while committing crimes.

"Some of these men have recidivism rates of 90 percent or higher", Officer Darvish Van Breeman explains. "so it's practically a certainty that they'll end up back in jail. All we're doing is teaching them how to commit their crimes without endangering themselves or others."

Classes include "Ten Tips For A Successful Mugging", "Breaking and Entering Made Easy", "Victim Management", and "Car Chase Safety".

Not everyone will qualify for the classes, however - only criminals with a record of at least 10 prior crimes will be admitted.

"We may not be able to keep them off the street," says Van Breeman, "but at least we can help them become safer, more polite criminals."
