Stalin would be proud

Justice Department just released a new report: 5.6 million americans (1 in 37) are in prison or have served time. That is the highest incarceration rate in the world. Nice, espcially for the wealthiest nation in human history. Plus you have to consider the fact that one in four are for mostly nonviolent drug-related crimes.


"By 2010, the number of American residents in prison or with prison experience is expected to jump to 7.7 million, or 3.4 percent of all adults, according to the new report."
