#SchoolToPrisonPipeline

Two days after Maryland officials approved spending $30 million of taxpayer funds on a shiny new jail for Baltimore youth caught in the snare of the criminal justice system, Gov. Larry Hogan removed $11.6 million from the city’s school budget and reallocated it to the pension fund for state employees, The Baltimore Sun reported. The budget decisions reflect a pattern in Maryland and across the U.S. of prioritizing spending on incarceration over education—calling to mind what’s become known as the “school-to-prison pipeline”—and the elderly over the young. 

How is that in America in 2015, we spend more money on incarcerating people - people who contribute nothing to society - than we spend on educating children so that they can be productive adults? 

As a matter of fact, An educated workforce is a great danger for the Government. 

Privatizing prisons is more benefical than bothering about education and far more profitable in terms of kickbacks and donations.

You see, the answer is easy
