What’s Wrong With This Picture?
The United States consists of only 5% of the worlds population and nearly 25% of its incarcerated population. In 2015 we spent $85 Billion on prisons and jails. The number of people incarcerated in the U.S. has grown from 200k in 1972 to over 2.2 Million today. These numbers are unacceptable and RED is here to provide solutions that lower crime while providing individuals who would otherwise not have the opportunity, the chance to lead lives of purpose.
