Could it be because we incarcerate so many of our people?
by skullaria at 6:16 am EDT, May 3, 2004

Expenditures for police protection, judicial and legal services and corrections activities has increased 366 percent from nearly $36 billion in 1982, said a report released Sunday by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics. The report cites 2001 numbers.

Cost expand as Criminal Justice System expands.

I've heard it said "You cannot govern a free people."

I've also heard that the US has more people incarcerated than any other country.

Is this freedom?
