U.S. prison population dwarfs that of other nationsBy Adam LiptakPublished: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
The United States has less than 5 percent of the world's population. But it has almost a quarter of the world's prisoners.
Criminologists and legal scholars in other industrialized nations say they are mystified and appalled by the number and length of American prison sentences.

Rising Incarceration Despite Falling Crime Rates –
Despite falling crime rates since 1991, the rate of incarceration in prison has increased by more than 50% since that time. These dynamics suggest that the rise in imprisonment is due to changes in policy that have increased the amount of time that offenders are serving in prison, and not crime rates.
An examination of the rise of imprisonment from 1992 to 2001 concluded that the entire increase was a result of changes in sentencing policy and practice.1 These include such measures as “three strikes,” mandatory sentencing, and a widespread abandonment of parole in the state and federal system. From 1995 to 2001, the average time served in prison rose by 30%.

Federal Prison System Leads Growth –The federal prison system continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, increasing 4% during 2005 to a total of 187,618 prisoners. The number of federal prisoners in custody has doubled in the last decade. One-quarter of the national growth in the prison population during 2005 is attributable to the federal prison system, contributing to an overcrowding level of 134%. This expansion has come about primarily as a result of the incarceration of non-violent offenders. More than half (55%) of federal prisoners are serving time for a drug offense, while only 11% are incarcerated for a violent offense.
THIS WE KNOW IS A FACT!

Prisoner demands included a living wage, educational opportunities, an end to cruel and unusual punishments, access to families, decent living conditions, decent health care, vocational and self-improvement opportunities, and nutritious meals. Prisoners point to the 13th Amendment, which outlaws slavery, as a reason for the strike.

They should read a little further, because it outlaws slavery everywhere in the United States except for the prison system, which is why they can treat you like a slave -- deprive you of health care, make it impossible to access your family, feed you whatever they want, house you in inhumane conditions, and make you work literally like a field slave for no money instead of using said money to help the families of the victims of crimes committed by prisoners or their children. What's almost as interesting is the limited news coverage given to the strike, which is the largest in the history of the United States. That's something to make you go hmmmm.

Similar conditions exist nationwide. Two and a half million adults are not allowed to vote because they are in prison. Five times that number — on parole, community supervision or probation — can’t vote and are blocked from employment and education opportunities, healthcare service, special housing, etc.
