The Rwanda Correctional Services (RCS), last week, received a donation of 8,100 pairs of eyeglasses from a US charity organisation. This should boost the prisons education programmes.Inmates should use their time in prison to study and engage in productive work so that they become responsible members of society upon their discharge.Education is core to reducing crime, as educated people are more law-abiding compared to the uneducated ones.Prison sentences should give people the chance to sit back and reflect on how they live.Inmates can transform their prison life into better opportunities by utilising the lessons got while in prison.The Rwanda Correctional Centre should be commended for giving inmates the opportunity to study.If all inmates take advantage of the educational programme, they would become better citizens upon discharge.
