Keeping Oregon's prisons system funded in a time of declining need.

A recent article in Willamette Week praises the Oregon prison system, claiming the system is one of the best in the nation.  Attorney Mike Snedeker debunks this claim as part of the lobbying effort of the prison-industrial complex to keep prisons funded in the face of declining crime rates.  He talks here with the Old Mole's Jan Haaken.
