Teaching them boxing too.

I am all for schemes where you give people some life skills and an opportunity to reform instead of just locking them up, but there does seem to be a strange choice of skills here.

No. They were zombies. Unless you had the patch and then they were "pedestrians"

Just seems like they're trying to make them into bigger arseholes than they already are. It'll no doubt work for a tiny % and you'll get the heart warming story of "i was on a dark path and it saved me". The mass majority will inevitably end up in the jail or dead.
