bar, almost 4,000, the african-american incarceration in the top ten states. now the united states rate at over 700 per 100,000 is not only the highest in the world, but it's also above that which a few research centers show is counter productive. any rate over 350 per 100,000 gives you diminishing returns and anything over 500 becomes counterproductive. you can see how far off base we are. other statistics indicate the pipeline is expensive. the cost for prisons have gone from $9 billion in 1982 to over $65 billion this year and the rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than the rate of increase for higher education. now evidence is clear that if we want to reduce crime, we need to invest in research-based programs for at-risk youth. programs such as teen pregnancy prevention, prenatal care, nurse home visits, head start, and other early childhood education programs, quality education, after school programs, summer recreation and jobs, access to college, job training, all of them work effectively to get young people on the right track and keep them on the

there is another unit down below, and on top of the building. our suggestion is to move the roof rails back about 2 feet, so it is even with the deckhouse, as shown on the dotted line on this plan. our third concern is the roof on the east side of the deckhouse -- the plans show very little improvement to take place. they really are not going to use that portion of the deck, but they want access to it. they show a new door and stair going from the deckhouse to that portion of the roof. i am concerned that use their -- there will cause the same problems in lack of privacy and so forth on my deck down below. and the same with the people on the other side of this property. their bedroom privacy will be invaded, if that part of the deck is used. we would like no use of the deck. i think that is what the permit holders intend, but they show this new door astaire. the access could be provided by a little gate like they have shown on their plan. this line is an existing date they have proposed. we would like to have them put another date of their -- an
