Have you been confused about the cost of incarceration? Maybe you're confused about task forces and how they spend money? Or maybe, about city and county district expenditures?
In this episode we share our personal and observed experiences with the ins and outs of criminal legal expenditures. Expenditures come in many forms from court fees, fines, taxes and even medical costs. Did you know that it costs taxpayers $55k a year per person to house an inmate? What about after that inmate releases back into our community?
Our guests speak candidly about the impacts from all sides of these expenditure and also give possible solutions to these massive spending deficits. It is a time in our country to begin a more frugal and effective work in the arena of the criminal legal system so that our community members don’t have to carry the weight of taxable burden repeatedly. Recidivism is interruptable and our money can be spent more wisely elsewhere.
