Abstract

It costs Philadelphia taxpayers $500 million a year to imprison the roughly 10,000 inmates throughout the Philadelphia Prison System (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 2005; Pew Charitable Trusts 2010). Even if they are released, 50% end up right back in the system a few years later (R. Rosa, personal communication, November 2014).
