  The state paid private prisons over $90 million this year to house 5,000 state prisoners.  The odds of a male born in 2001 going to prison during his lifetime are: 1 in 3 for African Americans, 1 in 6 for Latinos, and 1 in 17 for Caucasians.  90% of women in prison were assessed to be in need of substance abuse treatment.  Every year, 28% of people who are sent to prison were revoked for a technical violation of parole.  The United States incarcerates more people for drug offenses, than the European Union does for all offenses combined.  69% of people in Colorado prisons for drug offenses, are people of color.  The DOC projects that by 2008, 1 out of 5 people in Colorado prisons will suffer from a serious mental illness.  Colorado prison population has grown 604% since 1980, while the population of the state grew 59%.  1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men sent to prison were convicted of a drug offense.  Currently, 45 people a day are admitted to prison in Colorado.  The Dept of Corrections budget is $703 million, up from $70 million in 1985. |
