Quote of the Moment: US Prisoners
"The United States now imprisons more people for drug offenses than
Western European nations imprison for all crimes combined. No human
society has ever before imprisoned this high a proportion of its
population. It is now so large that if all U.S. prisoners were detained
in one place, they would rank as the thirty-fifth most populous state of
the Union." ― Johann Hari, Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs
