  States seek alternatives to more prisons
State spending on prisons surged 10 percent nationally last fiscal year (see graphic) and growing inmate populations played a lead role in those costs, according to an analysis by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
State Rep. Pat Colloton (R), who led the push for the legislation in the House of Representatives, said she expects the plan to allow the state to postpone new prison construction until 2016 – though officials had said expansion would be necessary starting in two years.
Although some states have been proactive in constraining the populations of their prisons, such as with the Kansas initiatives, others are falling more deeply in thrall to for-profit prison operators.

 Veni, Vidi, Vouchers - Why the battle for school vouchers isn't over. By Avi Schick
Despite their plain language, however, some state courts have found that their Blaine amendment was not an absolute bar to all forms of state aid to religious schools.
The Ohio Supreme Court held that "the sole fact that some private schools receive an indirect benefit from general programs supported at public expense does not mean that such schools have an exclusive right to, or control of, any part of the school funds of this state.
Thus, the court found that state funds don't flow to private schools because the voucher checks are sent to parents and then signed over to the school (the Florida court rejected that same argument as "elevating form over substance.").

 Violent sex crimes: Free the children!
Hard statistics are hard to find -- "indecency with a child" in one state could be "sexual assault of a child" in another.

Within a half-decade of their first conviction, reports the Center for Sex Offender Management, nearly half of all convicted child molesters are arrested for new crimes.
