Do you think that moey that hold prisoners in jail should be transfer to education?

Question

Every year the tax payers pays taxes for the tution for student in public schools. And, every year tax payers pays taxes to keep prisoners in jail. This year the tution is $9,000 per student and to keep prisoners in jail its $52,000. Do you think its better to put some of that money towards education for the students? (You know that children are the future and they decide which way the needle sway. To the left higher education, less thugs and better ecomony. To the right life of crime.) What do you think?

Answer 1

What, and the prisoners would then just disappear?!? How would you be able to transfer this money while the prisoners are still around?

Schools don't need nearly as much security, food and maintenance as prisons.

While I agree that it would be great to spend more on education and less on prisons - perhaps at the same time preventing further criminal activity - you have proposed a solution with no logic or methodology behind it.

Answer 2

I agree
However its more profitable to fill jails up full of black people
rather than educate them to be stable working people that wont commit crimes to begin with

its a form of social control

California is building prisons faster than they are building schools and there is no end in sight!

Answer 3

If you put more money into the children and teens of America, they might not turn into criminals. Less criminals means less money needed for them and either more for education or other more important issues such as the elderly.
