The Cost of America's Prison Society

The court appointed overseer of prison healthcare in California has moved to seize $8 billion from the California treasury for healthcare for inmates.

California's spending on prisons exceeded its spending on education the state university system some time in the early 1980s, and has aggressively pursued incarceration with the most aggressive "three strikes" law enforcement in the nation.

It looks like the people of California will have to start paying for their imprisonment fetish.

Hopefully, this will make the people of California think about the value of the war on drugs and our prison society.

There is a greater proportion of the US population imprisoned than any other society in history...ever.
