It's More Expensive to Do Nothing: Prison, Recidivism, and Remediation (Enhanced DVD)
Product Description:
It's More Expensive to Do Nothing: Prison, Recidivism, and Remediation (Enhanced DVD) In "It's More Expensive to Do Nothing: Prison, Recidivism, and Remediation," viewers learn vital information from law enforcement experts about the harsh reality of recidivism and incarceration. For example, it costs nearly $100,000 to hold an offender for a single year, but only $5,000 to help them live in freedom. With interviews from a variety of experts, including lawyers, policy makers, addiction specialists, and psychological experts, viewers get look at the expensive financial reality behind prisons.
The primary focus of the movie is on non-violent offenders and the way that remediation programs have helped them avoid falling into a life of recurring crime or recidivism. Viewers hear interviews from those who have benefited from these programs, including youth and adult offenders, and see that way that these relatively inexpensive programs have helped change lives.
This DVD makes an excellent gift for anyone who is concerned about the harsh realities facing the country, those who have loved ones in the criminal system, or those who plan on working in rehabilitation and remediation programs.

Customer Reviews
According to many experts, the math is simple. It costs over $75,000 per year to incarcerate a non-violent offender, while it only costs $5,000 to help them integrate back into society and live productively in freedom. These costs are also occurring during a time when state budgets are pushed beyond their maximum and the number of Americans in prison is reaching incredible levels. There is no sign that the number of incarcerated people will be slowing down any time soon.
This program explores this troubling reality and the statistics of prison, the effects of institutionalization and how it often becomes a revolving door with no end, the difficulties of prisoner reform, and the overlooking of programs that could help prisoners integrate back into society once and for all.
Included are interviews with over 25 experts in the fields of criminal justice, law, child development, addiction treatment and more. Nonviolent offenders who have effective integrated back into society are also profiled. Viewers find out more information regarding facilities that have been used to help both younger and adult offenders find productive lives.
