Uh?

Levitt tells us that 33 years in prison is the equivalent of 30 years in prison plus 1.35 days now. How does he know this? He uses discounting! Wonderful. Don't get me wrong, discounting is a very valuable tool, but using it like this is asinine. Besides, he got the math wrong, it's 2.04 days.
