A MEN’S prison is one of the world’s least likely settings for a beauty school, but one group of California inmates are fast on their way to becoming qualified beauticians. Manicures, pedicures and facials are just some of the treatments practised and perfected by the felons incarcerated inside the walls of Valley State Prison. Carmen Shehorn, tutor on the cosmetology course at the Chowchilla penitentiary, said she chooses not to ask what crimes her students are locked up for. “It is a violent institution. There are lots of alarms and a lot of training on how to be safe and be aware of what’s going on around you at all times, so the very first day I started here, I came around the corner and saw all the inmates and was like ‘what did I get myself into?’” she told Barcroft TV.

Finally, someone understands what inmates need to lead better lives in prison. A hands on program that makes them feel useful and to pass time in a healthy manner.

This honestly makes me happy. They're changing their lives for the better.

Rehabilitation is what prison is supposed to be. I applaude you Miss Carmen. You guys keep doing what you're doing because a vocation will take you far.

I love how the teacher never looks at their record/why they're in prison to begin with. However, there's a hell of a lot of sharp tools there... :/

See, rehabilitation works. Rater then punishing them and saying "yes you are criminal" and them never breaking that cycle and committing a crime again because they hve no qualifications to get a job, and because no one believes in them so they don't believe in themselves.

This is what jail/prison needs to be about. Being rehabilitated.
