Answer

The colleges and the prison

Step-by-step explanation:

Both are college and prison. According to alice Hoffman, as american children transition to adulthood they go through two institutions. The first is the college institute while the second is the prison.

The college is where the teenager goes to further his education in order to prepare for a life he can have. That is a career. While the prison prepared the teenager for a life he hoped not to have and a place he hoped not to be.

While the college prepares people for a good life and career, the prison is a place for rehabilitation.
