It costs $80,000 per year to keep a person in prison .if we lock him up for 5 years that's $400,000 gone - and with no rehab the chances he will reoffend are high ... and cost us even more
Giving him an education reduces the chances of him reoffending - and means saving money in the long term ... and creates a taxpayer so on that front we all win ...
Now, on a different front - the little girl has not had a win ... so what are we doing about that ??
