"right on crime" supplanting state prisons with federal prisons...

Quote:

Struggling with chronic budget crises, lawmakers in more and more states are embracing sentencing and other reforms in a bid to hold down corrections costs. But while sentencing reform has long been the domain of "bleeding heart" liberals, now conservatives are driving those efforts in some states.




the elephant (which has a double meaning) in the room that the link ignores is the simple fact that unlike states..the federal prison system is not subject to budget constraints...these conservatives discussed in the link simply mean to supplant financially-pressed state prison systems with more federal prisons.. which keep ppl in much longer for the offenses.. and as such..are far more lucrative for the private prison companies that sponsor repugnican candidates...

so while the repugs might talk about saving money at the state level..it will be more than outweighed by expanding the federal prison system.. and the taxpayers will end up paying more as a result...
