2. This is the Florida version of ‘get tough on crime’ A recent article in The Gainesville Sun said that “a person could end up serving more time for drugs than for manslaughter.” There are no anomalies or inconsistencies in the law. Case in point is Hope Sykes: It is easier to entrap a 19-year-old female for selling 25 OxyContin pills than addressing the addiction process with its educational component. The payoff is a mandatory 15-year sentence. This 15-year sentence will cost taxpayers $379,417. A portion of this money will be recycled into the campaign coffers of our elected officials.
3. This is the Florida version The average inmate goes to prison for a five year sentence The average inmate has a 6th grade education 60 or so percent of the inmates have an addiction It costs the state of Florida $140,000 to send a women to prison for five years
4. Florida has the third largest prison system in the nation Authorized positions 27,736 Inmates in prison 102,232 Offenders under supervision 152,928 Budget $2.3 billion
5. Florida Inmate Population on June 30 Compared Over Five Years 120,000 100,000 80,000 60.000 40.000 20.000 102,232 100,894 98,192 92,844 88,576 AND IT’S GROWING 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
6. Florida now warehouses human beings because it is caught in a big, growing problem that outstrips its resources and overwhelms its capacity to respond….
7. It happened because we “got tough on crime” and our solution, nation-wide, is the warehousing of human beings…. Bathrooms
10. Think in terms of spending 12 to 16 hours a day on a shelf

20. January 17, 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower warned the U.S. of something he described as a threat to democratic government. He called this threat the "military-industrial complex", a union of defense contractors and the armed forces. Eisenhower said, in part: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist."
