Message: From GoLocalProv by GoLocalProv News Team & Graphiq: Incarceration is part of the American identity. As Vice reported in 2014, with over 2.4 million people behind bars, one in every 100 U.S. citizens is serving time. According to a 2014 report by the Hamilton Project, the United States' world-leading incarceration rates make it “an international outlier” and the country spends over $80 billion annually on maintaining its growing prison population. Recent analysis of crime rates by New York Times Opinion contributors show this system fails cost-benefit analysis. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/rhode-island-has-among-the-highest-cost-per-prisoner-in-us
