Notes:
Barks' social commentary on criminal rehabilitation. The Beagle Boys are educated in many useful trades while in "Studious Hours Prison" but, upon release, immediately put that knowledge to work to rob Uncle Scrooge. At the end, a judge sentences the Beagle Boys to be "re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rehabilitated again!"
