<p>I know that it’s possible to peace together a traditional conception of self-respect and hard-work without any help at all. But most people need reinforcement. As it stands, having a traditional conception of self-respect and hard-work is maladaptive in the ghetto. If we really want to save these young men, we have to take them out of the ghetto and put them in a safe, stable environment. I think all-male boarding schools for at risk youth would be a good idea. The money can come from what we save in building/maintaining prisons.</p>
