Land of the Incarcerated - Over 1% of the US population is in Jail!!
This is really disturbing stuff:
The report said the United States incarcerates more people than any other nation, far ahead of more populous China with 1.5 million people behind bars. It said the U.S. also is the leader in inmates per capita (750 per 100,000 people), ahead of Russia (628 per 100,000) and other former Soviet bloc nations which round out the Top 10.
Maybe we need to take a break from saving the world and figure out what’s going on here?
