Right now the United States has the largest prison population out of any industrialized nation on earth and the problem is growing. We just can't keep on going business as usual because the problem will overwealm the system eventually.
Another huge problem in the word is land mines. When I was in the Falklan Islands a few years back, there were land mines everywhere left over from the war between Argentina and the British in the 80's. Thousands of landmines wer planted. Modern landmines are plastic and by international law, have to have a metal plate installed show they can be detected. In the case of the Falklan war, those plates were pryed off.
Years later people, sheep, children occasionaly blow up because they wandered off into the wrong place. The whole country is like this. It's also a huge problem in Africa and the Middle East. Princess Dianna when she was alive headed an organization that raised money to remove landmines from such areas.
Some minefields can be cleared using a flagger or by having explosives set them off. Some mines still have to be romoved by hand; especially, the ones in rocky and hilly terrean.
What is needed is manpower. Where to get it? The prisons. Why not have convicted rapists, pedofiles, and other thugs remove the mines. These thugs can't give a persons virtue or life back to them. They robbed that person of that. So the best way to say they are sorry is to remove landmines to keep other innocent children and women from being mained by another menace.
The United States could use it's prisoners to go to countries around the world and clear these menacing land mines. It makes perfect sense.
