It will never pass, you know why? Privately owned Prisons would not let that bill pass, the same way companies like black water and Haliburton won't let a Person like ron paul ever get in the white house do to his view on making the u.s. no longer the world police. It comes down to money with everything, LOCKING people up is big business and companies make more money running prisons than schools. That is why you will never see student vouchers, but you will see the state of the art prisons that can hold 10k people and that don't do a good job at rehabilitating even though they have a lot of money to spend. The state I bet spends more money on 1 prisoner than they do on 4 students
