With our US Prison system’s costs going through the roof and burdening the taxpayer, we know we must cut these huge budgets. One of the biggest problems in the corrections industry is the unbelievable number of illegal aliens in our nations prisons. We need to figure out how to cut the high labor costs. You see it costs up to $60,000 per year to house a dangerous criminal, but you can send 8-10 students to college for a year for that type of money. You see the problem?

If we can make the prisons out of carbon nano tube sheets, we will be able to save labor costs. You have heard of nano technology most likely. There are endless applications for carbon nano tubes due to their strength and abilities to conduct electricity. In fact due to their lightweight, strength, transparency and ability to hold a charge the uses are truly endless indeed.

One excellent use for transparent carbon nano tubes would be to make the prison cells out of this material. You could make the carbon nano tubes opaque unless you put a charge to them, thus turn them transparent. In doing so it would make it really easy to monitor the inmates. Also since the carbon nano tubes would be 50 times stronger than steel and could withstand any earthquake, imagine the benefits in such a change in building materials. Think on this.
