My TED talk video is about " How prisons can help inmates live meaningful lives". Dan Pacholke followed his father's footsteps and decided to work in the Department of Corrections. Pacholke was curious about how it was like to work at a prison so he took himself to the prison his father worked at. After his first experience Pacholke decided to become a corrections officer and ended up working in the prison for 30 years. When he first started working there he notice that inmates were loud, cells were filthy, and there was a lot of violence between inmates. Pacholke wanted to changed everything and make the prison a cleaner,quieter, and safer place; So he began to train a team of officers instead of small number of groups. Pacholke also removed toilets from the cells so inmates can be in a clean living environment, aside from the missing toilets they're were less inmates per cell because of this, cells are less crowded and its much safer. Pacholke was reassigned to another prison and there he was asked a question , "Could inmates live meaninful lives in prison?" and there he met an ecologist and they both came up with idea to allow inmates help the environment. They taught them the aspects of nature and how to save the trees. Little things like this began to change the entire prison and with this inmates began to change. They're behavior began to progress and so did the prison and from what I learned in this TED talk video is that there's always a way to get through things, it may take some time but with small changes things will slowly but surely progress.
