The United States spends about $80 billion a year on incarceration. One in three Americans of working age have a criminal record. Why are so many Americans “criminal”? Did you know that over 60% of Pennsylvania inmates require substance abuse treatment, which they cannot get in jail? Is putting them in jail the answer? Pennsylvania currently incarcerates over 50,000 people in state prisons, giving it the 6th largest prison population in the nation. It costs taxpayers far more to house an inmate than to fund education for our kids.
We want to talk about these issues and potential reform options with very experienced speakers in the criminal justice field.
