Heard a rather neat quote today:
"The USA has more prisoners in their own country than soldiers in Iraq..."
Just a saying eh?

That is not particularly surprising and certainly not amusing.

I heard the US has the highest number of prisoners in the world. Even Chia or India with over a billion people each dont have that many prisoners.

Of course the fact that China tends to shoot you and bill your family for the bullet has nothing to do with it...

IIRC U.S. has a greater prisoner to citizen ratio then China, not necessarily more prisoners then China.

Oh, OK. That makes a lot more sense.
