The report, “Cellblocks or Class rooms? The Funding o f Higher Education and Corrections and Its Impact on African American Men,” is the latest in a series of reports by the Justice Policy Institute to show the fiscal impact of the nation’s overuse of prison as a solution to social problems.

Call an American Family Insurance agent today, or visit us at wwwamfam.com (AP) — Kennedy cousin M ichael Skakel was sen tenced to 20 years to life in prison Thursday for blud geoning a teenage neighbor to death with a golf club 27 years ago. Skakel wept as he testified for the first time on Thursday and insisted he was innocent in the death of Martha Moxley. “I would love to be able to say I did the crim e so that the M oxley fam ily could have peace,” he said, sob bing. “ But to do that would M ichael S k a k e l be a lie.” Skakel, 41, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, was convicted in June of beating Moxley to death in their gated Greenwich neighborhood of Belle Haven when they were both 15. Her battered body was discov ered on Oct. 31, 1975, under a tree on her family ’ s estate, next door to the Skakels. She had been blud geoned with a golf club — later traced to a set owned by Skakel’s m other— and stabbed in the neck with the shaft of the club. Prosecutor Jonathan Benedict on Thursday called the murder “cold-bloodedly evil.” Under the sentencing guide lines in effect at the time o f the killing, Skakel could have receive a minimum sentence of 10 years to life in prison and a maximum o f 25 years to life.
