Juvenile In Justice by Richard Ross
5.0
This floored me: "...it costs, on average, $88000 per year to incarcerate a single youth in a juvenile correctional facility. By comparison, a four-year public university costs less than $8000 a year."
That cost is a little out of date, but you could go to college full time and live on campus for four years for $88000! What a lot of money we waste housing kids in prison for minor infractions when we could be educating them instead.
