Colorado inmates can now buy "cold-case" playing cards (at about half the price of regular playing cards). Other states including Florida, Ohio, Minnesota, Oregon and Wisconsin have been using cards of this type for a few years resulting in some cases being solved based on information received from the card players.

According to an article in the Washington Post, New York City has seen a decrease in crime along with a significant drop in incarceration rates. According to the article, "The number of prisoners in the city has dropped from 21,449 in 1993 to 14,129 this past week." The Police Department has seen crime complaints for murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny automobile decline 70.69 percent over a 13 year period. See these statistics and more for NYPD. Wouldn't it be great if this were the national trend?
