a day. Sounds to me like they have plenty of money to put in place programs that focus on rehabilitation and focus on cutting the recidivism rate. If you are not going to do anything to educate and teach inmates a valuable skill that will benefit them on the outside how can you

honestly expect them to become productive members of society or do you just assume that anyone who is sentenced to prison are just throw aways and the dredges of society so why bother helping them with an education and a skill so that once they do make parole they don't have to

fall back on committing crimes in order to survive out on the streets. Another way to save money is to stop incarcerating innocent people for 20, 30,40 years and that ends up costing the states millions of dollars all because someone needs a conviction at any cost. When you don't

hold law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges liable for misconduct in a criminal trial and they know that they are covered under judicial immunity, why should they play fairly because they will never have to worry about being held responsible for their egregious behavior and

they will never face the consequences of taking someone's freedom from them and that isn't even mentioning what it does to these people who have been incarcerated all of these years for a crime that they did not commit. The states seem to think that just compensating them a

certain amount per year should suffice and that is a joke. Most of these people who have been locked up for several years, even decades, have a hard time adjusting to the outside world because they are institutionalized, not to mention the mental disorders that they are suffering

from due to being incarcerated with violent offenders and abused by some of these correctional officers. We all know how some of these correctional officers think and feel about these inmates. You can go to any C.O. message boards and read some of the things that they say and do

to these inmates and it is appalling and they know that they will get away with it because of the "they are criminals so hence they must be all liars" mentality. I don't believe that because someone commits a crime that they should not only be punished by the state by being

incarcerated but then officers are basically given free reign to treat inmates as if they are less than human. That alone is disgusting and says how dare we say that we are a civilized society when we allow the things that go on in prison and turn a blind eye to the blatant

carte blanche to do whatever they wish to those incarcerated because no one is going to care anyway but they are wrong because you know who cares? The families of these people we are locking up and treating in some of the worst ways imaginable. Not everyone in prison is there
