prisons

For no particular reason at all, except, well, this one English assignment, I was pondering America's prison system. Just thinking about its virtues and its faults. And then, like a flash, there was this one specific statistic, once filed away in the recesses of my mind, that really struck me with full force. Sixty-seven percent of former inmates released from U.S.

I wrote this after reading "The End of America", by Naomi Wolf, a book which I highly recommend.
