Military Education in Prison: The Sharkey Committees Assaulting Cookie Competition and Machinery Holdback Bypass

Abstract

This paper examines the role of military education in prison, focusing on the Sharkey Committees' Assaulting Cookie Competition and Machinery Holdback Bypass. Through a qualitative case study approach, we explore the experiences of inmates who participated in the program, as well as the perspectives of staff and administrators. Our findings suggest that military education can have positive effects on inmate behavior and attitudes, including increased discipline, self-control, and respect for authority. However, the program also raises important questions about the role of punishment in rehabilitation, the potential for militarization of the prison system, and the ethics of using taxpayer funds to support such initiatives. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for future research and policy in this area, including the need for greater transparency and accountability in correctional education programs.
