It’s More Expensive To Do Nothing

by Scott H. Silverman on July 7, 2010

Scott H. Silverman is one of 25 experts in the fields of law enforcement, law, politics, life training, addiction treatment, and childhood development that are featured in the new documentary It’s More Expensive To Do Nothing. Conceived by Susan Lankford of Humane Exposures and directed by award-winning Director Alan Sawyer, the movie explores the dark and often disregarded world of criminal justice, the revolving door of institutionalization, the complexities of remediation, and the programs that have worked to help nonviolent ex-offenders succeed as self-sufficient members of society. To fully explore the growing crisis in the justice system, It’s More Expensive to Do Nothing steps back to examine the causes of crime and recidivism addiction, homelessness, childhood trauma and neglect. The filmmakers usher the viewer through a range of facilities with proven track records for changing the lives of both juvenile and adult offenders. The message of this dynamic documentary is clear: Remediation for nonviolent offenders can trigger miracles, cutbacks can be disastrous, and proactive intervention will reduce recidivism, saving substantial public funds and benefiting not just the individual but society as a whole.

You can read more about the movie and watch the trailer on the movie’s official website.
