Hillary Clinton is proposing a $4 billion a YEAR anti crime plan. Strangely enough she hasn't announced where this money is coming from.
Hopefully this will go the way of her healthcare reforms..

I wonder what she means by 'programs to help stop ex-cons returning to prison'? A big part of the reason that ex-cons end up back in prison is the fact that they've been there in the first place - it's more difficult for them to get jobs etc on account of it and many resort back to crime to fund their existence. Bit of a catch 22 going on I think where ex-cons are concerned.
