Reports that people were able to rehabilitate themselves from drug addiction through “remote work release”
There are many people who commit a crime and go to prison, and even though they are released after completing their sentence, they end up going back to prison because they re-offend. One of the main reasons for this is that many people leave prison penniless and without a job, so if there are no people around to help them, they are likely to have no choice but to commit crimes again. You can A man who has spent about 10 years in prison for drug-related crimes blogs from inside the prison about the specific circumstances and significance of being the first person in the United States to be allowed to work remotely in a prison that has internet access. I am posting.
How I got here - Inside thoughts
After being kicked out of his parents' home at the age of 17 and becoming homeless, Preston Thorpe inmate seems to have started a criminal act of wholesale medicine on the dark web . Thorpe was first arrested for receiving MDMA in the mail from Vancouver when he was 20 years old. Of his first experience in prison, Thorpe said, ``In prison, you don't do much more than get a tattoo, work out, and just watch something happen or wait for some drama to unfold in order to participate in it.'' There’s nothing to do.”

Several years later, Thorp was released from prison after serving his sentence, penniless from the costs of attorney's fees and administrative fees. Since he had lost his ID and social security card, he either worked as a temporary worker doing manual labor for $10.50 an hour (approximately 1,600 yen), or met up with old co-workers and was paid between $15,000 and $25,000 a week. After struggling with the choice of getting $2.2 million to 3.7 million yen, Prisoner Thorpe chose the latter and committed crime once again. As a result, from May 2017 to November 2023, Thorpe is serving a 10-year sentence in an American prison while battling drug addiction.
After 13 months of solitary confinement in prison for the second time, Thorpe was transferred to a prison in Maine , the easternmost state of the United States. In this prison in Maine, there are almost no problem inmates or gangsters, or they are isolated, allowing prisoners to improve their lives and do what they want to do with their time. It seems that it is a system. There, inmate Thorpe began learning about organic chemistry, finance, and options trading.
And it became almost the first U.S. prison to have internet for inmates, who were closed to visitation and all other activities during the coronavirus pandemic. Thorp inmate had experience as a computer geek and had knowledge of programming and software development, and he cooperated in the installation of the prison network and the education department.
Then, after the network and software were somewhat complete, Thorpe inmate asked the prison for ``remote employment''. I was then given permission to do so, and for the first time in the United States, I was able to work remotely within a prison.
It is estimated that there are 2.2 million inmates in American prisons, and Thorp hopes to 'make them as aware as possible of the importance of education and rehabilitation, especially for those under the influence of drugs.' 'The American prison system severely limits access to education and technology.' Thorpe said his situation was extremely fortunate and exceptional, but added: ``Nobody can change by simply locking them up and denying them the chance to rehabilitate themselves.'' If you are interested in supporting education in prisons, please consider donating to a company that supports prison workers, like the one I currently work for, or to a nonprofit organization that works to improve prison conditions.' This shows that they want to change the attitude of prisoners and the mindset of prisoners.
