Alternatives to Jail

In 2008, a new high was reached in regards to the number of incarcerated adults. According to a Washington Post article published in February of 2008, “more than one in 100 adults in the United States is in jail or prison, an all-time high that is costing state governments nearly $50 billion a year and the federal government $5 billion more.” With more than 2.3 million people incarcerated, the United States leads the world in both population and percentage of residents in jail or prison; with 50% of those incarcerated deemed “non-violent” criminals.
