[The $9.6 million spent in the most recent fiscal year at HYCF comes to $291,000 per incarcerated youth, including parolees. In the 2013 fiscal year, the figures were $10.61 million and $158,000.]  Are you kidding me??!!! For this kind of money, these kids should be earning PhD's or law degrees.  This is an example of how out of whack priorities are since the DOE spends less than $20,000 per student.  And over ten years ago Peter Carlisle stated that the state spent over $50,000 per inmate per year in the adult correctional system.  Screwed up!
