how many people are imprisoned in this world?
113226
I don't know.  But in the USA it should be close to 800,000 people.  Mind boggling huh?
653683
The rate at which a specified group of people are sent to prison over any given time.
968418
it's already being done.  at least 44 suspects have died while in the tender mercies of our army prisons.  and that's just the ones we know about.  who knows how many have been torured to death in those secret renditions to torture prone allied countries?
1103662
The question should be "How much justice can you afford?"  Many innocent people are in jail and many more guilty are free.
492401
Too many.  We are disposing of our own people.  Sad state of affairs don't you think?

What you're forgetting is that tomorrow it could be you.  If you were accused of a crime, should we not give you any rights, just throw you straight in jail?  If you're just referring to people who have been convicted, which rights do you mean?  They don't have many.  You do have to remember that unless they got the death penalty, they are going to return to society some day.  You don't prepare someone for that by putting them in a hole and telling they they're not a citizen anymore.

United States of America (only its leaders, why punish people for what leaders do???) is the country that is most suited to be thrown in Jail. Mind it , not its people but their leaders who wage wars, who bring sanctions on poor countries etc which is but against Humanity.

Yes it is, black are 13% of the population but over 50% in jail. Why? because black men are incarcerated 6x that of white men and 7x that of black women over white women. Also blacks can expect 3x long in jail. In fact I seen blacks get far longer jail time for manslaughter than a white person for murder.
