I too would hate to see staffing cut . In this field there is a high turnover rate. Is seems that training and the much needed pervention programs are being cut.

I would agree with Mr. Thomas's statement and include that youth gangs already have anti social/anti government tendencies.

I work in an older facility. In the short run, making repairs is more cost effective. However, the long term goal to build a new prison will reduce the cost and expense of daily operations.

I have said all along that youth gangs well be a good place for recruitment for terrorism because of the money they can make.

I would hate to see cost cutting being primarily staff cutting. In the long run, I wonder if that is even a money saver. Increased turnover, higher medical costs. higher training costs, increased liability. So often it seems that what appears doable in the short run is instead not feasible or well planned in the long run.
