not really sure what that has to do with prison, but that's pretty cool anyway. I can get behind that.
yeah, the incarceration rate in the US is at 1 in every 100 people, and less than 1 in ten for blacks.
I suppose some people see that as a good thing, and 1% really doesn't sound like that much, but the stats are interesting.
20 years ago the world ranking for countries with the highest number of people in prison was as follows:
1. USSR
2. South Africa
3. USA
In good company eh? but in the 90's after the "end of communism" and apartheid, the US was bumped up to number one, where it still remains today.
