It is very interesting to see how Shakespeare is helpful to everyone. Murder inmates are not usually considered people with a high level of education. One could assume that they do not care for Hamlet or any other type of old play. What the directors of the prison are trying to do is make the prisoners reflect on their actions and sort of correct themselves. It is part of the discussion of whether jails should be correctional institutes or only places where you hold the people that have done harm to others. By acting out Hamlet they are, hopefully, led to reflection, forgetting the differences between each other. The inmates will have a chance to forget about their troublesome past and play as someone they can laugh at.
