Redemption through Reading?

May 12th, 2014 @ 7:07 am PDT

booksThe regional government in Calabria, Italy, has approved a bill that would reduce prison sentences in exchange for reading books: For certain inmates, sentences would be cut three days per book. The bill will now go to the Italian Parliament. The bill was inspired by “Redemption Through Reading,” a similar program that’s been successful in Brazil’s overcrowded prisons.
