Prison population in the USA
According to Wikipedia, in 2008 approximately one in every 31 adults (7.3 million) in the United States was behind bars, or being monitored (probation and parole)!
What a shame!
An Australian Parlimentary Report submitted on June 20, 2011 brings out the shocking fact that
although the Aborigines constitute only 2.5% of the population of Australia (22 million), yet they constitute 25% of the Australian Jail population!
