Finally, I hope that the pope will look at the complexities of our city's prison system, which holds nearly 8,000 people at a time. I hope he will recognize that three out of four people housed in our municipal prisons are there awaiting trial; that many of them languish in cells only because of their inability to pay bail. I hope he will see that failing schools lead to filling prisons, as high-school dropouts are the ones who most often occupy those cells.
