America's prison state is a disaster. One percent of the adult population is behind bars, and corrections is squeezing higher education out of state budgets. We have five times as many people in prison as we ever had before 1980, and five times as many (per capita) as any other advanced democracy.

1% translates into 3 million! The U.S. of A. needs 3+ million bullets, which is about 1 million dollars and the problem is solved. Very cheap indeed. But wait, half of them are probably innocent.
i would have agreed wholeheartedly with this 30 years ago, less so today. there is a greater level of education, yet more people behind bars these days.
