Preckwinkle: Jailing juveniles costs more than Harvard tuition - Chicago Sun-Times

Preckwinkle: Jailing juveniles costs more than Harvard tuition - Chicago Sun-Times



No truer words spoken folks. Now for the fun part, fixing, or better yet, coming towards a solution for this epidemic.

As for myself, I suggest those major perks we shower prisoners, and detainees with, must be eliminated from these budgets, and more emphasis on education while incarcerated, or detained. That simply entails, no more gym equipment. Let them walk, do calisthenics, jog, a "Boot Camp" type workout that recruits endure, where there was, and possibly still is, no weights involved. It's a hell of a lot cheaper. They should replace all of that unnecessary equipment with teachers/tutors putting emphasis on these youths obtaining a GED, or high school diploma. After doing such, once the student loan failure is addressed, an emphasis on encouraging them to pursue higher learning.

Now that seems like a very good approach. Get rid of wasteful equipment that serves no purpose in our jail, prison, and detention institutions, and replace such with books, teachers/tutors, and a goal. It will have an impact on recidivism rates, and give hope, and opportunity to those that have felt that there was none. Though it may be true we haven't come up with a cure for the common cold, we can surely come up with a cure/solution for an epidemic of this nature.
