What is everyones take on it?
Prison Boxing usually consists of three 3 minute rounds and usually is a war to the end, as it doesnt let enough time to feel an opponent out, Headgear is optional and follows amateur boxing rules strictly.
When prisons present this to their inmates, it is a reward as well as a means to make them conform, By letting them do this they are introduced to a disciplined act and everyone knows when you are a boxer you have to be disciplined.
Not many have came out into the pro ranks from this but one boxer almost made it to the big time (sort of) and that was Clifford Ettiene he was in Jail for armed robbery in louisana and fough 30 times in prison with zero losses, this record is unbeaten and looked how he turned it around (he was a contendor although nothing great you still have to give credit)
So what is your take on it?
I think it is great, conforms individuals to discipline and keeps them in order and gives them a possible future and makes them a better person. I like the idea a lot and thinks it could help especially when and if a prisoner gets out.
