I am originall...That's quite an amazing statistic. I am originally a native of Tennessee, where there are similar trends. For example, a $290 million dollar prison is presently being built, even as faculty salaries at state universities are about 30% below neighboring states. <BR/><BR/>What are your thoughts on the reported statistics? The numbers seem to roughly match up with BJS statistics on jail and prison populations. Its too bad the estimates do not report likelihoods of ever being in prison. <BR/><BR/>MikeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570218942396828709noreply@blogger.com
