“Those of us who are incarcerated often hear and see on the news, tales of suffering by the citizens of Montana, double digit unemployment, one-in-nine on food stamps- for many life is difficult, even grim. Meanwhile, we at the WRC, and other institutions I imagine, feel no effects of the recent recession. As a matter of fact, things are booming: new buildings being built, plenty of jobs for inmates, new correctional office jobs too. Thanks to an unending supply of taxpayer money, the prison system is thriving. What’s wrong with this picture?” ~John Hannan
