Yes ... I often ramble on about sports and music, but now lets talk about the state of Pennsylvania and its massive budget. Just one part of the budget that is huge is support for the prison systems. In 2007 one in 28 adults were in prision in Pennsylvania.
Potential proposals:
#1. Tough labor for all prisioners - it doesn't matter what kind of crime that was committed. Since the are all "wards of the state", make them work building roads by hand and plant and harvest crops. (this will be a two fold solution) The prisoners will effectively earn their keep, and it will remove the need for expensive gymnasiums and other prisoner activities as well.
#2. Prison should be less glamourized and true punishment should occur.
#3. Physical "punishment" should be permitted to "calm" over angry prisoners.
