Learning how to work a farm field or animals is a marketable skill, as is the discipline to do a day's labor.
My point is: Leaning to work is learning, and something that some of those incarcerated folks would have done well to learn before they got...
“They are largely uncompensated, they are being forced to work, and it’s unsafe. They also aren’t learning skills that will help them when they are released,” said law professor Andrea Armstrong, an expert on prison labor at Loyola University New Orleans.

Chaotic energy of implosion/explosion a couple of miles down, in a wrapper of thousands of pounds per sq. inch of pressure, and then dyanmic pressure changes as buoyancy does it's thing, along with the physics of interaction with moving ocean water.

Lack of respect for elders
Lack of respect for authority
