Right now in the state of California, there are 33 state prisons housing 175,000 inmates, costing the California state tax payer 11 billion dollars. 95% of those people that sit in those 33 prisons will be getting out. Historically and statistically, 8 out of 10 of these people will commit another crime and go back to prison within 18 months after release at a cost of $55,000 per head a year as of 2009. Second Chance has found a way to solve this problem.
