Governments At All Levels Need to Set Priorities

If you ARE homeless on the streets of Toronto the city sets aside something like $35K/year to look after you. If you have been convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison the feds set aside approximately $140K/year to look after you. If you were a hard working honest tax paying individual who made a contribution to society during a 45 year period the government gives you approximately $12K/year. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

For a more effective prison system
Canada's 54 federal penitentiaries hold about 12,700 inmates serving sentences longer than two years. They are guarded and served by about 14,500 staff at a cost of nearly $1.8 billion a year.
