Prisons...

This country is f***ed, and our prison population proves it. One in 100 adults is behind bars, which is a full 1% of the population in case you're bad at math or too lazy to do it. It's closer to 10% for African Americans, varying by subsets of that population. What does this say about us, as a country? And for the love of god, how much money are we throwing away incarcerating people who could be treated? It's horrid.
