FACTS Assembly at Manual Arts High School
Our Manual Arts High School interns prepared and presented an assembly on September 30, 2009. The theme was how the reform of the Three Strikes Law could benefit education in the State of California by saving up to $1.2 BILLION a year from the prison budget for use in educational and social programs. The prison budget was increased by 1.7% while all other programs were cut back! There were nearly 300 students who elected to attend this event which included speakers from FACTS and a showing of the film "Under Three Strikes." The questions and comments from the students were very thoughtful, constructive, and showed a real grasp of the situation as it affects their education and community.
