I remember when the US used to mock the Soviets for having the highest percentage of prisoners in their population. The US has been number one in imprisoning people for quite a while now. Perhaps the feds need to rethink what a real crime is and what punishment is appropriate.

It is a travesty. The only ray of hope is that the US doesn't have nearly the number of police per capita as the USSR did at its peak.
