The Best Tough-On-Crime Plan

Respectful of Otters put this story up months ago. Why haven't one of the candidates jumped on it? This would be such a good use of our tax dollars.

The Best Tough-On-Crime Plan

"Controlled studies show that it results in 54% fewer juvenile arrests and 69% fewer juvenile convictions and probation violations. And for every dollar it costs, four dollars are saved in future costs. Why aren't tough-on-crime conservatives all over it?

Probably because it doesn't involve more cops or more juvenile detention centers or harsher punishments or religious indoctrination. Instead, it's all about nurses."

...we're in trouble.

And it's a perfectly good answer to why the current president embarrasses me.
