IN 1995, MORE MONEY WAS SPENT BUILDING NEW PRISONS THAN BUILDING NEW UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS. THE JUSTICE POLICY INSTITUTE REPORTS THAT BETWEEN 1987 AND 1995 THE MONEY SPENT ON STATE PRISONS ROSE BY THIRTY PERCENT, WHILE MONEY SPENT ON HIGHER EDUCATION DROPPED BY 18 PERCENT. OVER THE LAST TWENTY YEARS CALIFORNIA ALONE, BUILT 21 NEW PRISONS. THIS WAS THE LARGEST PRISON CONSTRUCTION EFFORT IN THE WORLD AND IT GAVE CALIFORNIA THE THIRD LARGEST PRISON SYSTEM IN THE WORLD--AFTER THE REST OF THE U.S. AS A WHOLE AND CHINA DURING THE SAME PERIOD. CALIFORNIA BUILT ONLY ONE NEW COLLEGE SINCE 1990. CALIFORNIA ALSO LAID OFF 10,000 PROFESSORS AND OTHER UNIVERSITY STAFF, AND HIRED, 10,000 PRISON GUARDS.......WELCOME TO THE POLICE STATE BOYS AND GIRLS.....IN THE LAND OF THE FEE, AND THE...HOME...OF THE...SLLAAAAAAAAVE!!!!!!
