Among my
assortment of useless, but interesting facts is this:
Country
with highest percentage of population in Jails:
USA, 3.2%.
Does
that indicate that the United States have tougher laws?
or
Severe
penalties compared to other countries?
or
maybe Some
counties in the U.S.A. are known to have very high fines for minor misdemeanors. I have been told they have this system to
rent to inmates out for cheap labor. The
county makes money and the company owner saves money or labor. Everybody wins! Except the inmates.
