Compared with what?
The US has often been described as "The Prison Nation,"
I myself make use the term at the end of a prior post.
But looking at the graphic (article) on the right the UK doesn't look all that much of an enlightened society compared with the rest of Europe.
So does the US deserve its reputation? If we study the graph (article) below the answer is rather apparent, glaringly so.
Much has been written on the subject, and I have scribbled more than a few lines in various other forums, but for now I shall let someone else take up the tale in this "must read" article.
