We haves six juvenile facilities in California, but only need 2. We spend over $250,000 per year, per ward (actually it is closer to $300,000--if you include ALL the costs). A Folsom prisoner costs $47,000 per year, including $17,000 for health care.
California and Texas have about the same number of prisoners, but Texas has 10,000 administrators and California has 20,000.
We have lots of waste in our system. Think about how much energy we would save if no TV's were allowed in prison--plus we would help save the planet.
If we did not have this fiscal meltdown, the waste and corruption of the system would still be going on.
Where are the adults in Sacramento?
