Crime Watch - WI Gamblers In Prison Tell Story

One of the areas related to problem gambling that in my view has not had enough study is the amount of criminal behavior that is associated with the gambling addiction. No real statistics are kept defining the link between the two. This is starting to change as awareness in the media such as this article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are published on a more widespread basis. The story describes how two gamblers, one man and one woman from completely different backgrounds could end up in the Wisconsin state prison system because of their compulsive gambling.
