to stop supporting losing change operations in latin america and to stop supporting wordpress of military and landmark legal to utilize those sanctions as well in cuba . it should engage in fair and equal trading practices with latin american countries. it should rattle the child, enforce it, and it should enforce its own child labor was. i also believe that a, you want an expert should be appointed the meeting at the us border, especially as it involves children, migrants who are being horribly exploited by the united states. now it's important to note the us rep at this special meeting. the president ignored the many criticisms and leveled on the united states for its policies, but instead focused remarks simply on blaming russia and putting blame squarely on russia's head for the refugees created by the conflict and ukraine. so that's what

we saw at the un headquarters as the meeting took place, telling me anything to set fully update that as well as the correspondent kind of egypt has held us on the gatherings through duns, naples to address the ongoing war in that time she was which is increasing the, affecting the entire region during statements with east, by the summit for 10 days, schools on the war sides in the pine. sit down to steve the cost of the seas and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. and also down seen this toner paused by conflicts between the countries on forces and as rapids. the pull power military forces since april wounded. a reason as to like on the city on the non new the student needs capital and is being called the deadliest one in 3 months, taking the lives of at least 22 civilians. so. 6 me the serious challenges this evening is all me has cooled upon the nation to mobilize edging every one who time to time to enable says, and it's supposed to just and say some of the new domestic recruits training for

the phone. and they can find more details on that for you and everything else on our website, all, tate dot com and will be back at the top of yeah, we will see you then the we usually think that our tax money is going towards what we want to see things like new roads updated metro systems, perhaps you, we rarely think that our tax money is going to fund that helps what we don't want to see. things like prisoners and jails a. but the unfortunate reality is that a big portion of tax money goes towards a 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 how many, how much goes into the cost of incarcerating and maintaining criminals behind bars . in the u. s. state governments has spent a combined $55000000000.00 on state prisons in 2020 for over $1200000.00 people who are locked behind bars. while spending per prisoner varies drastically between state state from $18000.00, all the way to a $135000.00 per prisoner in wyoming. the average the state spends is $45771.00 per present. it costs so the presence budget goes to the salaries and benefits for correctional officers. the average annual salary for an officer was 53400 and then high wage states like california new york and massachusetts officers make a double the salary of those in low wave states like mississippi, louisiana,

georgia. another factor that determines present spending is the operational cost of the present facilities. these are how far 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. the geographically the south has a higher prisoner incarceration rates compared to the west or the north east of america at 424 prisoners 480-0000 residents. and in total, the bureau of justice estimates that the us spends more than a to keep roughly $2300000.00 people behind bars. and this includes all of the prisoners locked up between thousands of federal, state, local juvenile correctional facilities and tribe uno systems. and even with such a high birth prisoners continue to rise. so like in most industries,

the public sector turned to the private sector for health. private detention centers are seeing as a quick fix to the problem of overcrowded understaffed public presence. and today, privatized sick prisons make up over 10 percent of the corrections market, turning over $7400000000.00 per year. now there's a range of private industries and public agencies who continue to profit from mass incarceration. currently granted contracts to operate prison, food and health services, and even prison, telecom and commissioner functions. this has bought a multi 1000000000 dollar private industry with things like phone calls, medical care to the families of prisoners. these private companies offer a correctional solution that prevents the government from having to thinking more capital into brick and mortar of new prisons and other long term costs, such as pensions and salaries and health care for new present stuff. a private

prisons 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 operates the 5th largest presence, one owned and operated facilities. this allows the stake in the $7.00, who recorded billions of dollars in revenue. studies agree that privatized prisons save money on the balance sheet between 19 to 28 percent. so why are presence such a good business, even though you're well to explain more well bringing the best in this topic? we got anthony gandy present manager, an author of inmate manipulation, be coded, and connie l e in prison educational consultants. so let's start with you. anthony . first of all, and what country are prisons, the most expensive? i would have to say probably the fact 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 are present 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. uh, 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 those are institutions is more of a creation of a community of corrections so many of the facilities look like little apartments. there's just a different way there. i think they engage and i believe the popular. so there is a level of preparedness for returning to society. i think in america

we do some of that, but there is a level of step down and more of a controlled environment for that to happen 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 their basic needs met. whereas in america or process and anthony, you wanted to add a comment just kind of in partnership. so obviously countries like new new zealand will be doing like our integration models. so basically looking to rehabilitate the offender for re entry, which is basically what we obviously do here 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 support in central america or south america that don't have our direct supervision

. they don't have any staff oversight. they basically do things from a distance and they basically allow the inmates to fend for themselves which to me, if you wind up having facilities that relation 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 experience. there is a level of accountability even in guards to re integration. 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 supposed to look at actually, how jails and prisons operate. because what you see um its on humans failure and not what the design of the system is. so sadly,

what winds up happening is that model winds up becoming the standard, the 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 our education. so we have 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 on education, social services, a mental health, religion. i mean i drug treatment programs on the other thing is also is that we could provide it. but you have to, you know, get them to want to take it. so there has to be some level of accountability 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, we're able to address their treatment. they must admit that what they have done was

wrong. so we know that the change is sincere and not just something that you're selling us. so once you get some, i'll continue to be a threat. so a lot of people may not be willing to take some programs because they feel if they take the program, it couldn't make that they're wrong. and right now that could be going through an appeal. so they don't want to say, well, i'm going to go ahead and take this program, but then if i take this program, i'm fighting 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 a 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 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 i'm all the times because a good percentage do the right thing and leave and never come back. but there are some where 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 others ready to turn over . so we have to start get into the 20 and the end of economies 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 system is based on the inmates getting services and they do get there 8th amended, right. 8th amendment, right. always respect are entitled to be if they are incredibly shape or form of

receiving any crew or unusual punishment. and so that means if an inmate has a toothache, right, we don't let that the individual sit with the toothache all day or all week, right? like ways trying to provide of course, medical mental health dental. we provide them with meals, we provide them with programming. um, there are many instances 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 for the good news story, 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 you know, it's kind of like, how do we 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 everyone treats all offenders 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 system, has a high level of expectation in regards to what must be met, especially related to the offenders care and wellbeing. now having said that, we have people that fail to meet those expectations. yes, but that is that what, how that 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 gauge, you didn't do it that and is broke. there's 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 defined the system, but then remove accountability from it. so gain g a is,

is not to 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. like i, i level connie said i've, i've 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 boat, a torch, and i didn't we do i get back in a proper care. now having said that, that still requires strict oversight because of work came out that we had an image sitting in pain and he did everything to get well down to medical. and we just decided not to do it. people are going to lose jobs, at least by the standards that i've operated on. they're gonna have to have a major excused as 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 craft that correctional practices.

we'll have more after the break the, the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the us and european correctional philosophies differ drastically. the prime justification for incarceration over probation or community service for your pin is to enabled prisoners to lead a productive crime. the main objective of removing the offender is to maintain the community safety by rehabilitating and effectively re integrating and re educating the inmates 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 productive citizen. during the time they're serving their sentences, they are granted to 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 their societal freedom and rights. but in contrast, american ex, cause are confronted with losing the right to vote, employment, housing, and public assistance, all of which increase the likelihood of returning back to a life of crime. unique feature with re education through labor or system of special administrative detentions sentences under re education through labor were issued as a form of administrative punishment. rather, meanwhile, spending on prisons in england and wales is higher than in any other european country, except for russia and 29000000000 pounds, which is considerably higher than neighboring countries. like germany, a 3000000000 pounds and france at 2500000000 pounds. now the u. k as a whole, has a 3rd largest prison population in europe at 91870. after only russia

at 519002000. the u. k also is pushing to introduce longer prison sentences and change release provisions to keep some inmates in prison for longer statistics show that the average present sentence in england is currently the longest. it has been for a decade, standing at 19 months with every country having a specific correctional philosophy. would it be challenging to come up with a global rehabilitating criminal program other than a present for the answer on this and more we welcome once again, anthony gang, gate manipulation, d coded and occasional consultant. so now what is the most common? don't usually most crimes underneath there's gonna be some level of drug them. but there's a good portion where if you really get to this uh, you know, dig deep. uh, kind of the bottom of the iceberg. you're gonna find that there could have been some influence with some drugs, or 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 such, such anonymous. so you're looking at behaviors that are compulsive by nature, where they're motivated, more by that impulse than reasoning. but i would say for me, drug use could be one, but mind you drug use is not always a victimless crime because it can escalate, depend on their want for that only hurting themselves. and then 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 the underneath tone would always be some level of drug use in 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 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 use is usually and then it just against the 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 trade? 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 assessed rates. it's gonna probably be very cheap labor all but then again, there's also cost 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. uh, you know, whatever, living no life think, what i go for the jail system have never even had care for 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 way 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 certificates. so when they get off, they can get 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 to learning how to be amazing and learning how to wells. and then when they get out, they have opportunities, they know how to drive a forklift, but in the process, why they're working, they're being educated by a supervisor who's like a trade instructor who's gonna wind up helping, getting them certified. so when they get released, they could wind up getting some vocational tray, but again,

prisons are self sustaining. and in order to say some level of money from the taxpayer, there is some labor that we do rely on the inmate population for. but having said that in return to being taught and they could apply that gift out into the real world, i, i know a lot of it make maintenance workers that 1st off want to be called out because it's something for them to do. it's not forget that they want to get out of their self, but then when they, they get out, it's like do them on the, on the best plumber and they get out and they get a job. $4050.00 an hour right from the get go. because of their experience and jails. so i mean, you know, i, i want to see it both ways. but am i explained 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 that, i'm not a slave. what? well, it's not that it's, you're part of a program. at the end of the day, you do this, you can become a mason or whatever it is, and you can go out and take that skill with you into the real world. i think one of

the things that, you know, people talk about in this 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 to be qualified to do the work, right? and so we may have to pick certain people to do certain things because this is what is required and you have some 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 employing teams to an inmate in prison. i think it's easy to say, oh, it's cheap labor and you know the present systems benefiting but know 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 those who will be june. 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's a start that they should be paid more money and all of that. there's also this restitution essentially that is being paid back for the crimes they committed and to the people. they've offended a thank you so much, anthony yankee, and connie elliott, 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 there and given a better chance at re integrating into society after the sentence. currently, there are various movements who are trying to follow. norway is example of prison reform. norway has one of the lowest rates of formerly incarcerated popular years of release, even after 5 years, it was still extremely low at only 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 release, returning to prison within the 1st year out. the researchers have attributed this high rate to a plethora of fashion and inadequate skills necessary for employment. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back in the one no problem. did you want the week monday or is sixto our list here? what's the weight of the email as well sets up with the general but the most that is of the tools and most

of the use the windows and both employee if you need, because usually the, the, the game is worldwide. you would, you would either see it but not least screen that that was the, not a single interest has been implemented. we have made good will decisions to extend the deal numerous times. but enough is enough to say is russia will extend the blacks, the grain deal only if the country's interest from that of the west pole zips and
