1 Out Of Every 4 Prisoners In The World Are From 1 Country. Wish I Could Say I Was Surprised.

Why does the U.S. have so many people in prison? Well, for starters, we give out longer sentences, we send people to prison for offenses (particularly drug-related) that inother countries would just incur fines, and since the 1980s ourprisons have been increasingly for-profit enterprises. That is, they NEED prisonersin order not to go bankrupt. Anyone else see a problem with that?
