Prison

I saw an article within the last few months that talked about the huge prison population in the USA. It comes as no surprise that it is at record highs. The cost to society is enormous and probably will be one of the factors that leads to the downward spiral of the USA. The breakdown of the family, lack of morals, and the idea that we are all "entitled" to things we can't afford, are just some of the contributing factors. Here is a "world gone wild" article out of Denver. How much will it cost society to eventually incarcerate the mom, dad and the 4 yr old they are raising with their twisted worldview?
