Question:

1. What causes this?
2. How do we get affected?

Our jobs for today: find sources about...

Liz- Recidivism (likely of going back to prison after being released)

Da'rell- How many inmates are inside the public prisons and private prisons

Azeb- AB109 (how many people are going to be released because of the over crowding?)

Elizabeth- Money: who's funding the private prisons, how much money from our taxes are going to the public prisons?

Myron- The inside of the prison (rehabilitation)
