2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary fights against tuition free college... FREE Prison is ok [View all]
The Clinton's are AGAINST
tuition-free public college education.
Although they are in FAVOR of
mass incarceration, for FREE.
Apparently the Clintons are OK
with the cost of incarceration,
but not education?
According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 2,220,300 adults were incarcerated in US federal and state prisons, and county jails in 2013 about 0.91% of adults (1 in 110) in the U.S. resident population.
A report by the organization, "The Price of Prisons," states that the cost of incarcerating one inmate in Fiscal 2010 was $31,307 per year. "In states like Connecticut, Washington state, New York, it's anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000," he said. Yes - $60,000 a year.
How much is tuition?
Type of College Average Published Yearly Tuition and Fees
Public Two-Year College (in-district students) $3,347
Public Four-Year College (in-state students) $9,139
Public Four-Year College (out-of-state students) $22,958
Private Four-Year College $31,231

If Wall St can't profit...
it's too expensive, right Hillary?
