One Year of Prison Costs More Than One Year at Princeton (The Atlantic)

One year at Princeton University: $37,000. One year at a New Jersey state prison: $44,000. 

Prison and college "are the two most divergent paths one can take in life," Joseph Staten, an info-graphic researcher with Public Administration, says. Whereas one is a positive experience that increases lifetime earning potential, the other is a near dead end, which is why Staten found it striking that the lion's share of government funding goes toward incarceration.

The fact that the majority of government spending is allocated to incarceration is stunning to Staten since the other option is practically nonexistent.
