Opportunity May Knock

BY RAY CROMLEY

WASHINGTON (NEA)
Opportunities are where you find them — if you have

This was brought home to me the other day.
A taxi driver who picked me up at the Pentagon turned
out to be only a part-time operator. He was a full-time cor-
rect ions officer at a prison. He drives a taxi on Thursdays
and Fridays, works at his prison job the other five days each
week
He likes his work at the prison.
“There are the guys who come in dumb and go out dumb,"
he said. "They never learn anything.
“But then there are the others.
“There was one man . ..,” he said.
THEN HE TOJ D ME about a convict he had known—a
man sentenced for murder—who was in prison for 18 years
before he was released
“The man was a bum when he came to prison He had a
hot temper he couldn’t control. He couldn’t read He was a
nothing
“But in prison he began with a primer He gradually
studied his way through the school grades He took cor-
respondence courses.
"Finally, he earned his high school certificate.
“He didn't stop the re Though still in prison, he enrolled
at a nearby university- in engineering
“For years more, this man worked at university corre-
spondence courses. It was a long chunk of his life. But by
the time his 18 years in prison were up, he had won a college
degree
"Now he’s out He’s a professional engineer He has a good
job and works hard I keep track of him.
“He ll never be back in prison " said the taxi driver-correc-
tions officer.
“You like to help a man like that."

In the intervening months, an

more than a dozen Americans

THERE’S MORE OF AN EFFORT in many prisons these
