Article: Legislature's choice: Pay to Educate or Pay to incarcerate <-- CLICK HERE
This Letter to the Editor was written by an FAU Professor, and explores the statistics about the University system in Florida as well as offers a suggestion to Legislators to raise the bar for education to avoid the need for building more prisons. Would anyone like to offer their thoughts? Leave us a comment!

I agree! I think if the Legislators focus on education it would end up influencing more of our youth for the better. Then we wouldn't need to build more prisons. This article was really interesting.
This essay really gets to the heart of the matter. If Florida fails to fund education sufficiently & also try to protect access into our universities, our future will be a bleak one--less educated citizenry, more crime, less ways to attract people to the state--a slippery downhill slope--if our state legislators don't have the guts to tackle this problem in some sort of substantive way.
