America Home of Incarceration

United States of America Prison, USA, Freedom Land, Cage House. According to the report, in 2008 one out of 100 adults living in the United States had been in prison or prison (Pew). The overcrowding of urban and county prisons, federal and state prisons is approaching a crisis. According to statistics, the number of prisoners in the US will increase by 13% by 2011, of which more than 1.7 million prisoners will be detained within the United States (statistics).

The United States is also the country with the highest holding ratio in the world, exceeding Russia, Cuba, Rwanda, Belarus, Kazakhstan. The United States accounts for only two-twentieth of the world's population, but we occupy about a quarter of the world's prisoners. Since the mid-1970s, the number of US prison populations has increased seven times, but the population growth rate is only 50%. why? The liberal school condemns racial discrimination and "drug war", especially long-term imprisonment for non-violent drug drug offenses. President Obama claimed in July of this year, at the speech of the National Color Improvement Association, "It is the real reason why our prison population is very large." He stated that "drug war" is a continuation of the US "unfair criminal justice system history" and has excessive damage to ethnic minorities.

In the field of criminal justice, the real story is that the US criminal justice system is built in slavery and racial discrimination. It causes police brutality, usually racial discrimination. It resulted in massive overcrowding, destruction of individuals, families, and communities. Imprisonment reduces crime. Experts agreed on several studies, but most studies showed important results. This is partly due to the fact that most people with serious crimes are professional criminals. Of the prisoners released from state prisons in 2005, the average number of convictions in the past was 5, and the average number of arrests in the past exceeded 10.
