Show Notes
Alaskas prison system, costing half a billion annually, is under scrutiny. Lawmakers propose cuts, suggesting out-of-state prisons or parole expansion. Parole, at $13 per day, is cheaper than $202 per day in prison. However, parole eligibility is restricted for serious crimes, leading to higher costs. Lawmakers should reconsider these limits to save millions while maintaining justice.
