10,000's of felons are 'hitting the streets' this month because states can no longer afford to incarcerate them.
- Do you have a job for them (does anyone)? I didn't think so.
- What do you think they will be doing to make some money?
People do drastic and dreadful things when they lose everything and have no hope.
IT WILL GET WORSE...
FACT- More Americans become criminals to get healthcare avoid homelessness and suffering during hard economic times.
The current state of safety and security in our nation has a 'high probability' of this becoming fiscal epidemic.
As you look as the deeply distributing chart below, understand that:
How much does this crime and punishment cost our nation?
Example: In 2000 we spent a little over $3 billion on ALL U.S. prison health care and in 2008 JUST California wanted to ADD $3.5 billion more to prison healthcare On top of a CA 7.8 billion prison-expansion signed into law in May 2007.
JUST California - $11 Billion a year on prisons
If I hope that my children will be healthy and cared for as adults, does this mean I need to hope they become criminals?
