What this article says is that states, especially California, should not spend money on prisons. People say this because the more the state spents on the prisons the less the state helps the poor in the communities. The help that the prisons get is not fair because they chose that wrong path on their own and they still get away with an education.

This is going to be the argument against mine, because thsi article says no money should go to prioson, and if they do not get money this is going to have a negative affect on the educational programs prisons have for the criminals.
