They also pass on measures they say prevent people like themselves
from breaking in, from always keeping windows closed and blinds drawn to
having a working security system.
Columbus police teamed up with the Ohio prison system to produce the
videos. The inmates’ only incentive was a letter to the parole board
outlining their cooperation.
Police Cmdr. Bob Meader said it’s one thing for officers to emphasize
crime prevention and another to hear it from expert criminals.
