U.S. prison population at 2.2 million in the final years of the Obama administration- 2014-2015
04/23/2008
A National Academy of Sciences Report in 2014 after 2 years of research on America's prison population, says correctional prison facility costs are $80 billion a year and reach $250 billion when including all other expenses. Failure to focus on rehabilitation leads to two thirds returning back to prison. And the cost is also borne by 2.1 million children growing up without a parent. The biggest burden of this extensive policy of incarceration is borne by minorities.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
