The American Prison System; Shocking stats

[Oxidant]

1% of American adults are in jail.

Thats between 2-3 million people.

Thats 1 in every 99 adults.

Thats more than twice as many as South Africa.

More than 3 times as many as Iran.

More than 6 times as many as China.

No society in history has imprisoned more of its citizens.

The '3 strikes and your out' rule has meant that Leandro Andrade is serving 2 consecutive life sentences for shoplifting 9 video tapes with a value of $153.
Another is serving 26 years for stealing four chocolate chip cookies.
1 in 30 men aged 20 - 34 in in prison.

1 in 9 black males are in prison.

There are more 17 year old black males in prison than in college.

5% of the world are American...25% of all prisoners are American.

America prohibits importing goods made through forced labor or prisoners...

YET...

...American prisons produce 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet proof vests,

93% of domestically used paints, 36% of home appliances,

21% of office furniture, which allows America to compete with factories in Mexico.

Thus America has successfully reinvented the slave trade.

There are many AA inventors who have great things. It's hard to make it into American college with those ridiculous fees coming from a poor socio-economic background

I don't know why Americans always claim they have the best country. You have the best military and economy, all due to World War 2. But actual living conditions, I think scandinavian countries and Australia shits on the states.
