US Still Biggest In The World - At Least When We Talk About Incarceration

in #us5 years ago (edited)

What does it mean when Yankees say they will bring Freedom?

Let's have a look at their own country and then we'll know.

  1. The United States has 5% of the world's population, but 25% of the world's prisoners.

  2. The total incarcerated population in the U.S. is a staggering 2.4 million — a 500% increase over the past 30 years.

  3. One in every 108 adults was in prison or jail in 2012.

  4. One in 28 American children has a parent behind bars.

  5. At the end of 2007, 1 in 31 adults was behind bars, on probation or on parole.

When you ask the US to come "free" you, better think twice.

Sort:  

How many countries asked the US to "free" them???

I think this was decided for them by the US:

Irak, Libia, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, Cambodja, Syria...

And a lot more I am sure.
