One per cent of Americans now in jail

March 2, 2008, 20:16

They used to call it the land of the free...

Not to mention the 3% of Hispanics, or 10% of black men aged 20 to 34, etc, etc...

Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

We already had a thread about this.

Also, Wales is the UK's prison.

I thought you'd be happy to have them off the streets, Mobius.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
