Prisons are not institutions that are set up for that purpose, so when you have somebody who needs that degree of care and attention, obviously, it's going to be much more expensive.

Rod Williams

He [Bush] said he wanted to be a compassionate conservative, ... He said he wanted prosperity with a purpose. He said he wanted to leave no child behind. I think the theme that he has really acted out over these 100 days is to leave no special interest behind in almost everything that's been done.
