It probably would reduce crime & incarceration. That’s 4 years an 18-22yo is stuck in the library studying

Apparently it works. Even in prison, it reduces the recidivism rate from 50% to 4%.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-sense-with-sam-harris/id733163012?i=1000457667084 …

Were prisoners randomly assigned to those classes? I kinda doubt people pursuing undergrad degrees received treatment randomly (or by natural trial). Nothing *wrong* helping those who want to reform, but if they were unlikely to recidivate anyway, other ways maybe more effective.

It's not when prison spending is up +300% (sunk cost with near-zero economic returns) over the same time-frame when education spending is down -35% (even though the later returns 4:1 economically for every dollar invested). Higher education is much, much better for everyone.
