levertovfanThis is some of the more appalling news I've read in a long time. And the news recently has not been lacking in appalling.
The number of American adults is about 230 million, meaning that one in every 99.1 adults is behind bars... Either way, said Susan Urahn.. “we aren’t really getting the return in public safety from this level of incarceration.”
No kidding!?!?
