106-9 Kicks Country #1 For New Country
Here’s a good anecdote for just how little time kids today spend playing outside: A new survey found a lot of kids spend less time outside on an average day than prison inmates.
One in three kids between five and 12 years old play outside for around 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the U.N. guidelines require that prisoners get at least one hour a day outdoors.
And when researchers went inside Indiana’s Wabash maximum security prison to talk to inmates about their findings, they were floored, to say the least.
“Wow,” one prisoner said.
“That’s depressing,” another inmate said.
“I don’t even know what to say to that,” another said.
