Prison Reform Gets Off To A Good Start

thesmarttart:

Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), speaking from the Senate floor last week, said, “Let’s start with a premise that I don’t think a lot of Americans are aware of. We have five percent of the world’s population; we have 25 percent of the world’s known prison population. There are only two possibilities here: either we have the most evil people on earth living in the United States; or we are doing something dramatically wrong in terms of how we approach the issue of criminal justice.”
