Maybe for the first year or so put them on chain gangs and then maybe to a place with heat and some body to teach reading, writing and common sense, just like boot camp. Get the idea across that there are better places than jail and learning is the only way out. It might make smarter criminals but once in a while even a blind old sow finds an acorn and appreciation for something. Give them some responsibility rather than beating the tom tom  and feeling sorry for themselves because they missed learning anything in school, seems like the girls paid attention.
