“Kansas is in a crisis. For several weeks, the prison population has soared beyond capacity. In fact, our prison population has quadrupled since the 1980s despite steady declines in crime. Our gubernatorial candidates have not mentioned this crisis. The candidates talk about education, taxation and industry, but not about the horrifically expanding prison system that likely would scuttle advances in each of these areas.“
