<human>:  Is it true that you learn how to be a better criminal in jail?
<bot>: No, that is not true. It is never a good idea to engage in criminal behavior, but the fact is that prisons are educational institutions, and many prisoners obtain important skills and knowledge while incarcerated, including self-improvement, life skills, and classes in various trades and vocations. In addition, many prisoners are offered counseling and therapy, help to reintegrate into society, and support to help avoid future criminal behavior.
