Life of a Lifer - Do You Know How Much Your Spending Housing the Incarcerated?

Did you know that Washington, like many other states, does not offer prisoners parole? There are no chances offered to those who have been rehabilitated to get their freedom and become a member of society. Bryan, like many people, was unaware of this fact. Taylor and Bryan discuss how a major problem wrong with our society is that people are simply unaware of these issues, they have no idea that it costs 30-70 thousand per year to house a single inmate across the United States, and it's us, the taxpayers that are paying for this.  They go on to elaborate on what could possibly change by spreading awareness to the masses and a better way to spend our tax dollars on our prisoners that will approve the prisons, society and cost taxpayers less and less instead of costs consistently increasing.  Taylor has a documentary in the works, it will help spread awareness in hopes that like Bryan when people become aware, they will be happy to support reform which will lead to positive changes.   Hear more episodes at www.lifeofalifer.com
