Clearly, most of the people or half of the people stay in. In Connecticut, as well as in Colorado and Florida, prisons became so overcrowded after parole was abolished that the system was reinstated. In Georgia, prisons are at full capacity now. Wetherington says there d be only one solution. Well, it s going to cost big bucks, obviously it is, when you start building prisons.
Cost estimates vary wildly from one to twelve billion dollars.
Those estimates don t impress Candidate Millner. Think about the cost, if you will, of a human life, human pain, human suffering. I believe that you can do it cheaper than we re doing in our state today. People have a right to feel safe, and somehow or another we have this liberal influence in our country that says we can t afford to keep people in prison. I don t agree with that one bit.
