In hopes of achieving comparable results, Massachusetts has closed down its flag-sewing operation in favor of a microfilm shop. Some experts caution that this approach can backfire. Jack Schaller, president of the American Institute of Criminal Justice in Philadelphia, maintains that ex-cons often do not want to pursue activities that remind them of their days behind bars.
