Record-high ratio of Americans in prison
Instead of being concerned about the cause and the cure, this article seems to concentrate on the cost and other unrelated factors. It said that more people are behind bars mainly because of tough sentencing measures, such as "three-strikes" laws, that result in longer prison stays. Question is what did they do to get there in the first place and what can be done to stop people from committing crimes so that they end up in prison? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080228/...son_population

I think it needs to start in education reform. For all the talk about tolerance and appreciation of diversity, school success is a big indicator for most of US society as to a person's worth and future well being. However, success in school has a pretty narrow definition. Cultural norms and values play a huge part of this, yet soooo many schools want kids and families to conform to one way of learning and one way of demonstrating what one has learned, and if a student at many points along the system don't meet that expectation, he/she is seen as a failure, in the schools definition of success. Who wrote the derfinition?

We should bring back chain gangs and labor camps. Put these criminals to work doing that work Americans don't want to perform. I realize it will cramp the job market for illegal aliens but at least we will get our moneys worth.
