The Innocence Project

http://www.innocenceproject.org/

The Innocence Project is a non-profit organization. This organization is here for a reason! That reason is to bring justice to the people who are serving jail time for a crime they did not commit. You can get involved, donate, and read about cases. I am passionate about this, and I hope that once you learn more about the Innocence Project you will be as well.

Federal Budget

I've come across this document from a federal website. I thought this was interesting about how much the government spends a year on prisons. I personally believe that there is a relationship between the increase of prison inmates, and the budget.
