Send inmates of minimal offenses to the military with limited benifits until full benifits are earned.

The option was available in the past, go to jail or the military. With the needed budget cuts, additional personnel to relieve the soldiers from multiple deploymnets, we can use men and women sitting in these million dollar institutions . We are not rehabilitating anyone in the jails or prison system, they are becoming viscous minded from their surroundings. The military is an option that should be considered, these are people that must show their desire to become a part of society. We allow many other nationalities to join our branches of service to obtain their citizenship without speaking english, and not allow our own an opportunity.
