Several states increased spending on prisons five times faster than spending on public schools. And Michigan is one of them. That’s according to a federal report that looked at spending patterns going back to 1979.
Shockingly, Michigan increased Department of Corrections spending by 219% between 1979 and 2013. Education spending increased only 18% during that 34-year span of time.
A society that spends SO MUCH on prisons and SO LITTLE on educating children—is itself a criminal society!
