He said today that for what we spend keeping people locked up for one year, we could provide free tuition for everyone to attend college. I'm glad he's shining a spotlight on this national disgrace and waste of money and resources and human potential. Obviously we want to keep violent and incorrigible people away from the rest of society. But President is correct that we need to release nonviolent criminals, starting with drug offenders, from prison.
