Dear Barak Obama:
I am concerned that the government is spending too much money on jails. It spends $78.95 per inmate in jail a day. By just taking away coffee, we will save $150,000 a year per jail. That’s a lot of money and we really need to save money because our government is collapsing. I have three good reasons why you should make a change. First is that prisoners have way too much luxuries that not even poor people have, and poor people didn’t even do anything bad. Second is jails are getting too many inmates a year and the percent of people get larger by a huge amount. Third, it costs a lot of money per inmate a year and most of the people that go to jail have a better experience than not being jail and return.
Prisoners get cable, water plumbing, enough to eat, access to a gym, proper clothing, proper dental care, their own bed and the choice to go to collage . Poor people don’t have cable, water plumbing, enough to eat, access to a gym, proper clothing and so on, but they never did anything bad. Prisoners are supposedly being “punished” and they have more luxuries than poor people. Even homeless people commit crimes on purpose so they have a proper shelter and food in prison.
The United States currently has the largest inmate population in the world. According to the U.S Bureau of Justice, statistics in 2008, more than 7.3 million people were on probation, in jail, or on parole at year-end. Approximately one in every 18 men in the U.S. is behind bars or being monitored. One out of six prisoners in California is serving a life sentence. By 2020, 16% of those serving life sentence will be elderly. To ease jail overcrowding, building new jails is considered every year.
It cost $45,000 dollars a year per inmate. It cost less to send your child to the college Princeton than it would to send your child to jail. 60-70% of former inmates return to jail within the first year of getting out of prison or jail because their life outside of jail was worse (maybe they were homeless.)
I think we should spend less money on jails and spend money on more useful stuff like schools so kids don’t end up in jail in the first place. I think if you don’t change things, then we will be losing too much money for no reason. I hope you take my opinions into consideration.
Sincerely,
Rahim
