CB: Are you sure that most criminals have not been exposed to same before going to prison ? Most criminals are from the working class or middle strata and have done some work in their day, no ?

[WS:] I would like to see some reliable figures supporting this. What I see in Baltimore is certainly a very different picture - those who end up in jail seldom if ever work and live mainly by preying on- or sponging off those who do.

^^^^^ CB: Seldom working is exposure to working.

You would be able to find the reliable figures more professionally than I.
