RATING ALABAMA TRANSPORTATION



The Pew Center has a report on the states, grading each on how well they spend transportation dollars. In Alabama, Transportation is largely one person driving in a car, but nonetheless, the study may be worth a look.

DOC's Repeat Customers

     According to a new report from The Pew Center For The States, Alabama's recidivism rate is actually not that high.

    Yes, a little over a third (35.1%) of the state's prisoners end up back behind bars, but that's certainly lower than that of the half-dozen states with a rate above fifty percent (including California's 57.8%!).

    Alabama also spends less money per-prisoner than any other state in the union, so perhaps our rate is lower because our accommodations are less comfortable?
