Many Americans are unaware of the rising problem of mass incarceration and its inevitable cost to the taxpayer. This study addresses this escalating issue and advises that change will only occur when we realize that applying appropriate educational resources toward this dilemma will enable inmates to receive the necessary job skills and training that will keep them from returning to our over-crowded prison systems.
Reviews
“The POW’s of our war on drugs reside in state and federal prisons across this land. Depending on sources sited, the current toll is anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 million, wasted lives institutionalized often for minor offenses that should never have been criminalized in the first place… sending the transgressor back into the community without the skills and attitudes necessary to build a future is a futile endeavor… Perhaps we would be better served to send a war on drugs POW to college considering the dollar costs for annual incarceration often equant or exceed, a year in our university system.”
