I don't think i understand the reason why this program works, but they counted everything, and now have the numbers who say that this program is working and helping to solve some crimes, so it is a good thing to have this program in prisons.

This is an interesting program offered by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. I assume the inmate who provides authentic information about unsolved cases will receive a reduction in his prison sentence and/or get extra bacon and sausages on his breakfast plate.
