    Anyone know if this stat is true? Seems fk'd up...

    In the land of the free, there are now more than 760 incarcerated inmates for every 100,000 citizens. This is more than 5x the 1980 average, and it far surpasses the number (560 per 100,000) that Stalin threw in the Gulag at the peak of Soviet terror.

    • Should give them all guns. That would fix it up.aaux
    • and the US prison system is hardly the same as a stalinist gulag.aaux
    • Comparison is on incarceration amount per 100k, not how harsh the conditions are. obviously...yurimon
    • Whatever you say, neocon. Keep making bold statements then covering them up with "it was just a reference"

    • The statement is very specific says nothing about what your referring to. whatever floats your boat buddy.yurimon
    • For someone who is reaching for a logical response but in reality your the nut. Have no basis for you comments.yurimon
