California is spending $7.8 billion in 2011-2012 to house, feed and provide 24-hour supervision of criminals. In contrast, California spent only a fraction as much—$784 million—on early education programs. Research shows that high-quality preschool programs can significantly reduce felony arrests and incarceration rates and return $10 or more in savings for every dollar invested, with nearly half of the savings coming from lower prison and crime-related costs. Police chiefs, sheriffs, district attorneys and crime survivors across the state are saying “pay now or pay much more later”—pay now for early education or pay much more later for corrections. To realize these savings, state and federal policy makers must move forward on providing more at-risk children with high-quality early care and education.
