 Not 1 in 100 has been in prison at some point in time... no, 1 in 99.1 were in prison (at the same time) at the start of the year. http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/02/28/prison...n.ap/index.html -------------------- |

So now I guess someone needs to look up a breakdown of what those 2 million people are in jail for.
hell, lets just assume it's 1/2 of them just to entertain the idea. now the number of people in jail is 0.5%. does that make you all feel better? 0.5% of american adults in jail instead of 1.0%? |
