In the US, states pay for incarceration but county-level officials (eg, judges) determine sentences
Incarceration rates fell dramatically in California after 1996, when a reform shifted the costs of incarceration (but not other responsibilities) from the state to the county.
College students assigned to a 7:30am intro course are 10% less likely to major in that subject. A similar effect is found for fatigue-inducing back-to-back courses.
Why? Attribution bias.
Students appear to misattribute their bad experience to the subject rather than fatigue
