"Education is power, no matter where it occurs. It is a great idea to have formal education while serving time for a crime. It can not only help with a declining return rate, but it can equip criminals for life outside of the prison system."

Yes, I do believe that education should be in prisons to reduce the number of prisoners returning. I believe that the continued education will allow prisoners to have opportunities that they never had before in life. I believe that the new opportunities earned by the inmates will make them less likely to re-offend in the future.

Good answer! Your personal stance on the issue of education in prison is clear, and you provide a reason to support your opinion. To further justify your response, consider including additional benefits of educating prisoners. I have offered an example below.
Yes, I think that prisoners should have the opportunity to continue their education while they are in prison. The continued education will allow them to have new opportunities that they did not have before they were incarcerated. In addition to education reducing recidivism rates, studies show it also reduces the levels of violence in the prison itself.
