The report shows that all states increased per-pupil common education spending, even when adjusted for inflation, but that only two — New Hampshire and Massachusetts — kept pace with per capita corrections expenditures.

Oklahoma increased per-pupil expenditures by 47 percent during the 33 years from 1980 to 2013, tying for 10th lowest, and corrections by 230 percent, which was 11th highest.

The rate of inflation in the United States between 1980 and 2013 was 182.7 percent, according to the U.S. Inflation Calculator.

The discrepancies were even greater for public higher education. Per-student state and local support for colleges and universities increased in only four states from 1980 to 2013.

In Oklahoma, it fell by 19 percent.

From 1980 to 2013, the report says, the number of Oklahomans in jail or prison increased 485 percent. Gov. Mary Fallin and others have called for sentencing reform and other measures to lower the prison population and to provide drug and alcohol treatment for minor offenders as well as job training and opportunities for those who have completed their sentences.
