Niks rant, keiharde feiten. Hier een leuke column om te lezen:

"In the past two decades, the money that states spend on prisons
has risen at six times the rate of spending on higher education.
In 2011, California spent $9.6 billion on prisons, versus $5.7
billion on higher education. Since 1980, California has built one
college campus; it's built 21 prisons. The state spends $8,667 per
student per year. It spends about $50,000 per inmate per year."

"Why is this happening? Prisons are a big business. Most are
privately run. They have powerful lobbyists and they have bought
most state politicians. Meanwhile, we are bankrupting out states
and creating a vast underclass of prisoners who will never be
equipped for productive lives."
