So yes sometimes there is NO reason to educate an offender - the offender may simply be using the education to lure another vicitm into his or her web.

Yes, I'm sure that sort of "education" isn't helpful, but maybe that get that education because there is nothing else to get. If we provide a substitute, maybe there's no need for that sort of prison "education". And I know you were just being contrarian :) I think the quote is they won’t “necessarily” receive degrees, which in of itself is an odd comment.

And because I'm a contrarian I'll dispute the claim the education is never a bad thing: I suspect that the "education" that some inmates get in prison is probably not helpful.
