US Spends 6 Times More on Prisons than Education美國花了6倍多，比監獄教育
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.為，在歷史上第一次超過一天，每100名美國成年人在監獄或監獄，根據一項新的報告，跟踪激增在押犯人數，並敦促各國懸崖勒馬更正成本與替代性刑罰節目。
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.報告中，公佈週四，由皮尤研究中心對國說， 50個國家用了超過490億美元就更正，比上年增長從不到110億美元的20年前。 The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending, the report said.增幅為監獄的費用為6倍以上，為高等教育的支出，該報告稱。
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.用最新狀態，按國家的數據，報告說， 2319258成年人舉行了在美國的監獄或監獄，在一開始的2008年-中就有1人， 9 9.1成年人，並有超過其他任何國家，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.持續上漲的在押犯人數"是加諸現金拮据的國家成本不斷上漲，他們負擔不起的，並未能有一個明確的影響，無論對累犯或整體罪案數字，說： "這個報告。
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.蘇珊urahn ，董事總經理的皮尤研究中心對國表示，預算案的疾苦，是促使官員，在許多國家，要考慮新的，節省成本的懲戒政策可能已經畏縮在最近的過去因害怕出現軟犯罪活動。
“We’re seeing more and more states being creative because of tight budgets,” she said in an interview. "我們將看到越來越多的國家正在創作由於預算緊張， "她在接受採訪時說。 “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.” "他們想要的比賽對犯罪的，他們想成為一個法律和秩序的國家-但他們也想為節省金錢，他們希望能有效地" 。
The report cited Kansas and Texas as states which have acted decisively to slow the growth of their inmate population.報導援引堪薩斯州和德克薩斯州，因為國家已採取果斷行動緩慢的成長，他們在押犯人數。 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.他們的行動包括更多地利用社會監督，為低風險的罪犯，並僱用制裁以外重新入獄釋囚犯技術性違反假釋和緩刑的規則。
“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，所生的兩黨領導，是讓兩個國家，以確保他們有足夠的監獄床位暴力罪犯，同時幫助危險性較低的不法分子成為生產力，納稅公民， "報告說。
According to the report, the inmate population increased last year in 36 states and the federal prison system.根據該份報告指出，美國在押犯人數增加，去年在36個州和聯邦監獄制度。
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，州長史蒂夫be shear突出的成本改正在他的財政預算案演詞的最後一個月。 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，該國的犯罪率增加了只有百分之三左右，在過去30年來，雖然國家的在押犯人數已增加了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.皮尤報告由該中心對國家公共安全績效項目，這是直接與13個國家的發展計劃，以轉移犯人從監獄中，沒有危及公眾安全。
“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. " ，為所有的錢用在更正今天，一直沒有一個明確的和令人信服的回報，為保障公眾安全， "他說，這項計劃的總監，亞當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.” "越來越多的國家開始重新考慮它們的依賴監獄為低級別罪犯和尋找戰略是強硬的犯罪，沒有那麼強硬的對納稅人" 。
The report said prison growth and higher incarceration rates do not reflect a parallel increase in crime or in the nation’s overall population.報告說，監獄的增長和較高的監禁率並不能反映一個平行的犯罪活動有所增加，或走在全國的總人口。 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，它說，越來越多的人身陷囹圄，主要是因為從重判刑的措施，如"三打"的法律，導致更長的監獄停留。
“For some groups, the incarceration numbers are especially startling,” the report said. "對於一些團體，他們被監禁的人數更是驚人， "報告說。 “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歲之間的20和34是身陷囹圄，為黑人男性，在這個年齡組數字是一個在九個" 。
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.全國的數字，截至今年1月1日，包括1596127人，在州和聯邦監獄和723131在當地監獄-共2 319258出近2 .3億美元的美國成年人。
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.報告說，美國是世界上監禁的領導人，遙遙領先於人口較多的中國有150萬人身陷囹圄。 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.它說，美國也處於領先地位，在犯人人均（ 750人，平均每10萬人） ，領先俄羅斯（ 628每10萬人）和其他前蘇聯集團國家，其中彌補，其餘的前10位。
