sends alongside the us attorney general american garland now right out of the gate . and the item being against the january 6th capital riot said it was criminal and had no place in our democracy. but re refuse to acknowledge whether any of the i informants were among the crowd. you're talking the question because you don't want to answer for the fact that you had at least one o mist. understanding that some of the individuals were very dangerous and that there were others inciting individuals to enter the capital after others broke windows. but he insists that the f b i is director, right? are you or your staff auxilary or is weapon? i think the f, b, i against the american people. absolutely not the f b i is notorious for it's interrogation skills, getting suspects to confess and break down, admit wrong doing. but what we learned from the hearing that just took place is the feds themselves are on the other. and caleb moffat archie, new york,

palestinian generalist has accuse is really hard to use of cracking donald press freedom. often he's very cold, charged with incitement to violent silver, social media post ordering hood to carry out the community service on hunting down a 3 year suspended sentence of any help week. again, based on the experience i went through that i'm still going through, i believe that these really government tries to control my journalistic profession and silence the journalistic voice an occupied post time. this way to spread out and reach the world because it exposes the occupation comes again, spells damian's death to day and minute after minute posting and people face a number of crimes committed against them. and that's why journalists are targeted primarily because they document this crimes. so that's what happened to me and what is happening to other journalists. opened the series of punishments. i was forbidden to communicate with my public social space. as a journalist, i'm always on the jury stories about marginalized group,

like the martyrs prisoners, the families of prisoners. i was forbidden to communicate and practise my profession in an attempt to make me lose this voice. would you any of the costs also find to $1220.00 according to a lawyer, lama goes to. is it freelance or full to full? various published and you and media outlets. she was detained in september 2022, and placed on the house. the residence of follows almost any ingenuous union condemned to the verdicts as unjust found himself says the incidents has had a major impact on this, on the nation. and this leads to suffer from the aftermath of the stroke. and my children are still afraid to remain at home alone. they must be a 3rd person with us at all times because they fear that i'm not able to protect them and that i could disappear at any moment. this policy of taking away childhood is colonial one mean by the occupations government. looking at the one that fits 2 pm this thursday and must go. that's all from a piece of scouts for my colleagues. fiorella isabel will be here very shortly. say

to all the states top stories on into the evening. and thanks for watching the we usually think that our tax money is going towards what we want to see. things like new roads update and metro systems, perhaps even better public services. we rarely think that our tax money is going to fund that help what we don't want to see things like prisoners and jails, but the unfortunate reality is towards the system of incarceration and supporting and maintain the lives of prisoners. there are millions of people locked behind bars around the world and while living conditions vary at the end of the day, there's still a major grain upon society. so is there a solution to this problem? i'm christy i and you're watching the cost of everything. where today we're going to be examining how much goes into the cost of incarcerating and maintaining

criminals behind bars. s state governments has spent a combined $55000000000.00 on state prison in 2020 for over $1200000.00 people who are locked behind bars while spending per prisoner varies drastically. between state state from $18000.00 per prisoner in mississippi. a year, all the way to a $135000.00 per prisoner in wyoming. the average the state spend is $45771.00 her prisoner. now what are the major costs of a presence budget goes to the salaries and benefits for correctional officers. the average annual salary for an officer was 534202021. but in high wage states like california in new york and massachusetts officers make a double the salary, mississippi, louisiana,

and georgia. another factor that operational cost of the present facilities. these are higher and more upkeep. and in states where there is a relatively large prisoner population. now alaska tops all of the stays with the highest incarceration rate of $625.00 prisoners per 100000 residents. geographically, the south has a higher prisoner incarceration rates compared to the west or the northeast of america at $424.00 prisoners per 800000 residents. and in total, the bureau of justice estimates that the us spends more than 80000000000 dollars each year to keep roughly $2300000.00 includes all of the prisoners locked up between thousands of federal state, local juvenile correctional facilities. and i even was such a high budget public presence had become overcrowded as a number of prisoners continued to rise. so like in most industries,

the public sector turned to the private sector for health. private detention centers are seen as a quick fix to the problem of overcrowded understaffed public presence. and today private 10 percent of the corrections market. turning over $7400000000.00 per year . now there is a range of private industries and public agencies who continue to profit from mass incarceration. private companies are frequently granted contracts to operate prison, food and health services, and even prison, telecom, and commissioners functions. this has phone calls, medical care, and commissioner. it costs offloaded to the families of prisoners. these private companies offer a correctional solution that prevents the government from having to sinking more capital into brick and mortar of new prisons and other long term costs, such as pensions and stuff. a private presence not only provide state and federal government with a lower per diem cost, but they also provide

a means for them to balance their budgets by, by off and refurbishing state own presence. c. c, a now operates the 5th largest present system in the us with 51 owned and operated facilities. this allows c c a to maintain a 44 percent stake in the $7400000000.00 private corrections market, who recorded billions of dollars in revenue. studies money on the balance sheet between 19 to 28 percent. so why are presence such a good business even though you're dealing with conflicts and punishment? well, to explain more well bringing the best in this topic. we got, you are an author of inmate manipulation, be coded, and connie alley, in prison, educational consultant. so let's start with you, anthony. first of all, and what country are prisons? the most expensive? i would have to say probably that we may have a good amount of, uh,

individuals incarcerated, and then the level of care that we provide to meet their needs. and connie and what country our presence, the least, and the most humane, the least and the most. um that's a tough one. so i would say most humane. i think i may have seen a new zealand or like of the netherlands. i want to say, i've seen is most humane and least i might have to say, like, uh, maybe india, to what did they do differently in new zealand. so what i've seen in those institutions is more of a creation of a can many of the facilities look like little apartments. there's just a different way to i think they engage and i believe the population is able to kind

of go out and work. so there is a level of preparedness for returning to society and i think in america we do some of that. but there is a level of step down and more of a control here. and i feel like in some of the 3rd world countries, there is more of a responsibility for the families to take care of the offenders. so there are times where, like a family member has to go and make sure they have food. and they have sort of whereas in america like that's part of our care process and anthony, you wanted to add a comment just kind of in partnership. so obviously countries like new new z when will be doing like our integration models. so basically looking to rehabilitate the offender for we in the states. but i think that for me the models that are probably the least 2 main or the ones that have least amount of supervision. like i've seen some in central america or south america that don't have our direct supervision.

they don't have any staff oversight. they basically are do things from a distance and they basically allow the inmates to fend for themselves. which to me, are you wind up having facilities that are ran by the offender population as opposed to some level staff oversight. and now this question goes for both of you. ideally, prisons are supposed to be used for rehabilitation and reform and not necessarily punishment, but is that really how it works in reality? all right, so i've been involved this system for 20 years. so of to my experience there is a level arch to reintegration. so technically what we have to do is we have to take our we have to look at the system up based on the extremes of what's shown to us on tv, to pull some political perspective. we're suppose to look at actually how jails and prisons operate. because what you see on the tv could be an extreme that's based on

human failure and not what the design of the system is. so sadly, what winds up happening is that money just standard definition. and then they start making changes that are already being done. that's already been included, but somebody wants to be the hero and then based that extreme on this is how the system works. we, we do have especially in the states. we do have uh, educate things that help all the offender. why they're in their stay and then we also have things that prepare them for re entry. so we have models are education, social services, a mental health, religion. you know, we're chaplaincy programs. i mean, i am, the other thing is also is that we could provide it, you know, get them to want to take it over the 1st in order for them to admit that there is a concern. so if we do make a change of changes, natural, i'll give you an example we, there's places where they have sex, offender treatment, you know, and before we're able to address their treatment, they must admit that what they have done was wrong. sincere and not just something

that you're selling us. so once you get released you, you would still can continue to be a threat. so a lot of people may not be willing to take some progress because they feel if they take the program, it couldn't make that they're wrong. and right now they could be going through an appeal. so they don't want to say, well, i'm going to go ahead and take this. i'm frightened saying, i'm not guilty. so now if i do this program, people are going to think i'm guilty. why some people say, well, you know, if i do take this program it's, it's going to get me out sooner. well, the problem is that the, that incentive also doesn't work because you're not taking it for the right reasons . so it's a filtering process. it's making sure that not only do you have the programs to provide, but people are taking it for the right reasons and not for anything external more from helping someone from the inside out. but in my experience in my 20 years, i've seen that work up from the civilian staff and those that look to help to rehabilitate and re entry back into society. and i know the effort behind it,

but sometimes not all the time because a good percentage of inmates will put the effort to do the right thing and leave and never come back. but there somewhere, it's like just talking to a brick wall and we could only do so much before we have to start saying, you know what? we're spending too much energy on this one. when i got 20 yards, i get into the 20 and the end. but connie's from the civilian side, i'm sure she'll have a lot of insight on that as well. yeah. so i mean, i think that, you know, when we think about incarceration in america, we know that there is definitely a very high rate of incarceration. and i think that sometimes people assume the worst, right? you know, it's the assumption and everyone's being mistreated or mishandled. and the system getting services and they do get there 8th amended right. 8th amendment, right. always respected, right? so they, they are entitled to be, if they are in custody, not at, in any way,

shape or form of receiving any crew or unusual punishment. and so from a civilian perspective, that means if an inmate has a toothache, right, we don't let the, the individual sit with the toothache all day or all week, right? like, are the services that we're always trying to provide? of course, medical, mental health and dental. we provide them with meals, we provide them with programs is where you have staff for going above and beyond to ensure that the population has access to things that they need in order to successfully transition back into the community. i think that the good news stories are usually not the ones that make the front page. and so we end up basing our, our opinions on what we do see, right. and what we usually see are the negative things that are happening and say, oh, you know, that was just, you know, a bad one, right? but a lot of instances that is it, right this,

this is something that happens in this situation under these circumstances. and we can't use that broad stroke brush to say this is how ever in these facilities, when we in fact have people who are really passionate about the work they do. yeah, like, i want, if i can. so if you look at what's in the policy for the systems, you'll see that the system has a high level of expectation in regards to what must be met, especially related to be and said that we have people that fail to meet those expectations. yes, but that is that what, how the system should be defined? know those people should be held accountable because you are going to find people that don't do what's expected of them and people are quick to say, well, you know what? because gains, you didn't do it that way. the whole criminal justice system is broke is no guarantee messed up guarantee was not doing what's expected. so therefore, the system is still working just can just gotta be held accountable. that what we've done weekly is how these extremes are used them to generally define the

system, but then remove accountability from it. so ganges of all, because ganges just representing the system that expects, that i will come around and say no guarantee is accountable, because there's nothing in the system that told them to deny the inmate of these services. i, i level connie said, i ever seen an inmate sitting in pain when you have the facility that's operate in the way it should be operating on those expectations. no, because i have seen a scrambling on the other side of that liability. making sure that we don't a torch and i didn't, we do, i get back in a proper care and i haven't said that that still requires strict oversight because of work came out. we had an inmate sitting in pain and he did everything to get quite a not to do it. people are going to lose jobs, at least by the standards that i've operated on. they're going to why that they make was not brought to medical and why he was not treated as such. thank you so much, anthony and connie, but please stick around. our experts will be joining us here after the break. and

when we come back, we will analyze the cost of us and european is a craft that correctional practices will have more after the break the i'm afraid this to the last $2.00 days will continue dates and then we may have because i don't see any associated demand for peace in your model, there's no piece of equipment. so obviously there will be more functions introduced,

aggravates the situation, and they can arrest you decide to keep up this war in the interest of the us administrator the the, the us and european correctional philosophy, nation over probation, or community circle prisoners to lead a productive crime free life upon release, the main objective of removing the offender is to maintain the community safety by rehabilitate, integrating and re educating the in. as before releasing them. a report found that european countries direct more effort into social re integrated gratian than punishment and practices in germany. and the netherlands allowed for inmates to prepare for release, ready to face the world as a parent during the time their surveying their sentences, their granted privacy and are educated to use conflict resolution skills. this is

very different from american ex prisoners that continue to be punished after re entry european inmates are able to reclaim. but in contrast, american ex cause are confronted with losing the right to vote and difficulties a penny, employment, housing, and public assistance, all of which increase the likelihood of returning back to a life of crime. china also has a unique feature with the re education through labor or a system of special administrative detentions sentences under re education through labor were issued as a form of administrative punishment rather than according to criminal law. meanwhile, spending on prisons in england and wales as country except for russia. in 2019 the total budget was $3400000000.00 pounds, which is considerably higher than neighboring countries, like germany, a $3000000000.00 pounds and france at $2500000000.00 pounds. now the u. k as a whole, has a 3rd largest prison population in europe at 91870,

after only russian and turkey at 297000. the u. k also is pushing to introduce longer prison sentences and change release provisions to keep some inmates and present for longer statistics show that the average present sentence in england is currently the longest. it has been 19 months with every country having a specific correctional philosophy. would it be challenging to come up with a global we have both trading criminal program other than a present for the answer on this and more we welcome once again, anthony ganga present manager, an author of inmate manipulation, decoded, prison, educational consultant. so now what is the most common present charge globally? so usually most crimes underneath is gonna be some level of drug use and not all of them. but there's a good portion wherever you really get to this, you know,

dig deep. and that there could have been some influence with some drugs or alcohol maybe so obviously a lot of our facilities are definitely going to have some type of an a, a, a. i wouldn't go as far as having gambling on this or, or sex sets anonymous. so you're looking at behaviors that are compulsive by nature listening, but i would say it would be one, but mind you drug use is not always a victimless crime because it can escalate, depend on their what for that drug. so i know some people think, well, the only hurting themselves, and that's not always the case because once that drug addiction becomes so overwhelming that that drug becomes their priority. they will sell their children to get that drum, i'm just, it is what it is. so i would say that underneath tone would always be some level of drug use and which it could have led to um, you know, whatever crime it could be. yeah. yeah, cuz i think that's where it is sort of spins out, right. so it's, it's the drug use or a drug related crime. and then there's robbery,

there's weapons charges that usually come along with that. there's often times coupled with, like in a salt charge and then you know, as those things start to spiral, then you end up with homicides and such. so if i had to sort of just take an educated guess on that one, i would say typically some sort of drug possession drug and use involved. and then it just begins to spiral from there. and do you think prisoners are exploited for labor or are they working for a reduced prison sentence or good behavior, which makes it an equitable trait? all right, so, so yeah, so let's, let's so, so prisons are very self sustaining. obviously we all know that, right? so some states do pay the inmate population a certain amount. it's not what you're gonna find on the streets. it's gonna probably be very cheap labor costs that they're also paying for the inmate to

reside there. don't forget, you know, i mean, they may only get paid certain amount, but they're also getting medical for free program. it's a free food for free. you know, whatever living arrangements aren't, by the way, another sign of life think that i go from medical or never even seen by mental health. a lot of the times when we're discovering a certain is when they're going through the gentleman. it's been discovered by the bible workers who work behind the wall, like the mental health professionals or the medical. but i, i'm not going to say it's slave labor because there's another thing that's being done here that some people overlook their learning trades in the process. i got food service workers who are coming out with serv safe and you know, certificates. so when they get off they can dive right into, you know, helping out in the food industry. i got maintenance workers that it made to work in maintenance, but then the process, the learning how to be amazing and learning how to weld. and then when they get out, they have opportunities. they know how to dress a balance, but in the process why they're working, they're being educated by

a supervisor who's like a trade instructor who's going to wind up helping, getting them certified. so when they get released, they could wind up getting some vocational tray, but it was sustaining. and in order to save some level of money from the tax there, there is some labor that we do rely on the it may pop turn, but they do take whatever they're being taught and they could apply that gift out into the real world. i, i know a lot to make maintenance workers that 1st off want to be called out because it's something for them to do. let's not forget that they want to get out of their cell . but then when they, they get out and they get out and they get a job $4050.00 an hour, right from the get go because of their experience working in the prisons and jails . so i mean, you know, i, i want to see it both ways, but in my experience, i just find that it does become beneficial if they take advantage of the learning opportunity that we saw behind what is being a task towards them as opposed to just saying well, i'm not doing, i'm not

a slave. what? well, it's not that it's mason or whatever it is. and you can go out and i think one of the things that context also is that, you know, the population has no control over what kind of job they do, right? and so there are limited assignments available. and there's some, some positions where you have to be qualified to do the work, right? and so we may have to pick certain people to do certain things because this is individuals who don't want to do what's required in order to hold that position. or do that job. so it's, there's more, i think detail in the employment process as it pertains to an inmate in prison. i think it's easier to say, oh, it's cheap labor and, and everyone's on that you know, the present systems back here, all the options and which they are limited. these are the options available to the population. we have to be able to pick and choose and give people opportunities to grow and to learn, especially the community soon. because those are the ones who need to be employable,

right? they need to have some sort of skill that they've cultivated over that time. and that they're going to give into while they're going to learn from and be able to take it with them when they go. so as much as you know, there is a start that they should be paid also, this restitution essentially that is being paid back for the crimes they committed and to the people they've offended. thank you so much, anthony yankee, and connie allen for your time today. a while it's hard to think of prisoners as winners and losers. it seems like those incarcerated in europe went out over those behind bars in america, as they're given a better chance that we are integrating into society after this sentence. currently there are various movements who are trying to follow norway is example of prison reform. norway has one of the lowest rates, a formerly incarcerated population, committing another crime within 2 years of release, even after 5 years,

25 percent of the population. meanwhile, this rate is one of the highest in the world in the us with almost 44 percent of criminals released returning to prison within their 1st year out. researchers have attributed this high rate to a plus real factors ranging from the social stigma taishan and inadequate skills necessary for employment. i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the, the 2nd when we,

when you go to nato is not ready to it's, this is miguel, a many even the relationship between rushing china is a threats and they to serve a lab. rob pulls no punches on the western military blocks that 6 to expand its military, present a nuclear grip in the asia pacific region.
