Prisoners and Reentry
Today I heard of an inmate who was released after 38 years in prison. He got $50.00. He had no home, had lost contact with most of his family, and had no job prospect.

I hear you. How long until he is back in prison? What options does he have? This sort of thing has been a concern to me for a long time. I haven't figured out the answer yet though. Ugh, I wish I could...
According to CEPR we spend about $95 billion on incarceration. If we educate prisoners and prepare them for reentry, maybe they will pay taxes. For our decision makers it is a tough call, as many of their constituents prefer punishment.
We all know that the term "corrections" is a joke in most cases. This is another great example.
