US Spends 6 Times More on Prisons than Education美国花了6倍多，比监狱教育
For the first time in history, more than one in every 100 American adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report tracking the surge in inmate population and urging states to rein in corrections costs with alternative sentencing programs.为，在历史上第一次超过一天，每100名美国成年人在监狱或监狱，根据一项新的报告，跟踪激增在押犯人数，并敦促各国悬崖勒马更正成本与替代性刑罚节目。
The report, released Thursday by the Pew Center on the States, said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier.报告中，公布周四，由皮尤研究中心对国说， 50个国家用了超过490亿美元就更正，比上年增长从不到110亿美元的20年前。 The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending, the report said.增幅为监狱的费用为6倍以上，为高等教育的支出，该报告称。
Using updated state-by-state data, the report said 2,319,258 adults were held in US prisons or jails at the start of 2008 — one out of every 99.1 adults, and more than any other country in the world.用最新状态，按国家的数据，报告说， 2319258成年人举行了在美国的监狱或监狱，在一开始的2008年-中就有1人， 9 9.1成年人，并有超过其他任何国家，在世界上。
The steadily growing inmate population “is saddling cash-strapped states with soaring costs they can ill afford and failing to have a clear impact either on recidivism or overall crime,” said the report.持续上涨的在押犯人数"是加诸现金拮据的国家成本不断上涨，他们负担不起的，并未能有一个明确的影响，无论对累犯或整体罪案数字，说： "这个报告。
Susan Urahn, managing director of the Pew Center on the States, said budget woes are prompting officials in many states to consider new, cost-saving corrections policies that might have been shunned in the recent past for fear of appearing soft in crime.苏珊urahn ，董事总经理的皮尤研究中心对国表示，预算案的疾苦，是促使官员，在许多国家，要考虑新的，节省成本的惩戒政策可能已经畏缩在最近的过去因害怕出现软犯罪活动。
“We’re seeing more and more states being creative because of tight budgets,” she said in an interview. "我们将看到越来越多的国家正在创作由于预算紧张， "她在接受采访时说。 “They want to be tough on crime, they want to be a law-and-order state — but they also want to save money, and they want to be effective.” "他们想要的比赛对犯罪的，他们想成为一个法律和秩序的国家-但他们也想为节省金钱，他们希望能有效地" 。
The report cited Kansas and Texas as states which have acted decisively to slow the growth of their inmate population.报道援引堪萨斯州和德克萨斯州，因为国家已采取果断行动缓慢的成长，他们在押犯人数。 Their actions include greater use of community supervision for low-risk offenders and employing sanctions other than re-imprisonment for ex-offenders who commit technical violations of parole and probation rules.他们的行动包括更多地利用社会监督，为低风险的罪犯，并雇用制裁以外重新入狱释囚犯技术性违反假释和缓刑的规则。
“The new approach, born of bipartisan leadership, is allowing the two states to ensure they have enough prison beds for violent offenders while helping less dangerous lawbreakers become productive, taxpaying citizens,” the report said. "新的方式，所生的两党领导，是让两个国家，以确保他们有足够的监狱床位暴力罪犯，同时帮助危险性较低的不法分子成为生产力，纳税公民， "报告说。
According to the report, the inmate population increased last year in 36 states and the federal prison system.根据该份报告指出，美国在押犯人数增加，去年在36个州和联邦监狱制度。
The largest percentage increase — 12 percent — was in Kentucky, where Gov. Steve Beshear highlighted the cost of corrections in his budget speech last month.最大的百分比增加-1 2％ -是在肯塔基州，州长史蒂夫be shear突出的成本改正在他的财政预算案演词的最后一个月。 He noted that the state’s crime rate had increased only about 3 percent in the past 30 years, while the state’s inmate population has increased by 600 percent.他指出，该国的犯罪率增加了只有百分之三左右，在过去30年来，虽然国家的在押犯人数已增加了600 ％ 。
The Pew report was compiled by the Center on the State’s Public Safety Performance Project, which is working directly with 13 states on developing programs to divert offenders from prison without jeopardizing public safety.皮尤报告由该中心对国家公共安全绩效项目，这是直接与13个国家的发展计划，以转移犯人从监狱中，没有危及公众安全。
“For all the money spent on corrections today, there hasn’t been a clear and convincing return for public safety,” said the project’s director, Adam Gelb. " ，为所有的钱用在更正今天，一直没有一个明确的和令人信服的回报，为保障公众安全， "他说，这项计划的总监，亚当gelb 。 “More and more states are beginning to rethink their reliance on prisons for lower-level offenders and finding strategies that are tough on crime without being so tough on taxpayers.” "越来越多的国家开始重新考虑它们的依赖监狱为低级别罪犯和寻找战略是强硬的犯罪，没有那么强硬的对纳税人" 。
The report said prison growth and higher incarceration rates do not reflect a parallel increase in crime or in the nation’s overall population.报告说，监狱的增长和较高的监禁率并不能反映一个平行的犯罪活动有所增加，或走在全国的总人口。 Instead, it said, more people are behind bars mainly because of tough sentencing measures, such as “three-strikes” laws, that result in longer prison stays.相反，它说，越来越多的人身陷囹圄，主要是因为从重判刑的措施，如"三打"的法律，导致更长的监狱停留。
“For some groups, the incarceration numbers are especially startling,” the report said. "对于一些团体，他们被监禁的人数更是惊人， "报告说。 “While one in 30 men between the ages of 20 and 34 is behind bars, for black males in that age group the figure is one in nine.” " ，而一，在男子30岁之间的20和34是身陷囹圄，为黑人男性，在这个年龄组数字是一个在九个" 。
The nationwide figures, as of Jan. 1, include 1,596,127 people in state and federal prisons and 723,131 in local jails — a total 2,319,258 out of almost 230 million American adults.全国的数字，截至今年1月1日，包括1596127人，在州和联邦监狱和723131在当地监狱-共2 319258出近2 .3亿美元的美国成年人。
The report said the United States is the world’s incarceration leader, far ahead of more populous China with 1.5 million people behind bars.报告说，美国是世界上监禁的领导人，遥遥领先于人口较多的中国有150万人身陷囹圄。 It said the US also is the leader in inmates per capita (750 per 100,000 people), ahead of Russia (628 per 100,000) and other former Soviet bloc nations which make up the rest of the Top 10.它说，美国也处于领先地位，在犯人人均（ 750人，平均每10万人） ，领先俄罗斯（ 628每10万人）和其他前苏联集团国家，其中弥补，其余的前10位。

That is why the private banks demand that education for nearly all people be so designed that most people by far are rendered incapable of even posing the question of how money is really created, let alone coming to the independant conclusion that it is only thin air being loaned to us at interest.这就是为什么民营银行要求教育几乎所有的人，所以设计的大多数人迄今都变得无力，甚至乔装问题，如何赚钱，实在是创造了，更遑论未来交给独立的结论是，只有空气稀薄正借给我们的利益。
