Friendly speaking, my first thought was "what a ridiculous sentence - learn the language and we'll allow you to stay at large". But then I pondered and realized that you're right: these guys after imprisonment will obviously continue their machinations, because they just don't want and don't have any possibility to change themselves and if they get GED and find a job (and it's impossible without language), even forced to do this, they'll become completly different from what they were and this is the greatest measure, i'd say genious! The question is will these spanish men be able to learn the language, to pass the GED test? If you were a criminal, it seems pretty difficult to become normal member of society, I mean, they hardly have strong studying skill, you know. And I wonder in what term they have to do this. Anyway, very interesting subject, thank you. ) Hi, Jason!
