Odds of Bad Things Happening

Your odds of going to prison: 1 in 100.

Your odds of getting audited by the IRS: 1 in 130.

Close to $50 billion are spent each year in running prisons. We spend maybe $12 billion a year on schools. Does anyone not think that the priorities evident in those figures are whacked?

UPDATE: As Ghost pointed out, these are the odds of being in prison at this time and the odds of the IRS audit are for a year.

Just to clarify, I think the article actually says that one in 100 Americans are currently in jail or prison, meaning that your actual chance of going to one or the other sometime in your lifetime is quite a bit larger than one in 100.
