PRISONPLANET.COM: "7 Million in U.S. Jails, on Probation or Parole" (Associated Press)





7 Million in U.S. Jails, on Probation or Parole

Associated Press | November 30, 2006
By KASIE HUNT

A record 7 million people _ or one in every 32 American adults _ were behind bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year, according to the Justice Department. Of those, 2.2 million were in prison or jail, an increase of 2.7 percent over the previous year, according to a report released Wednesday.

More than 4.1 million people were on probation and 784,208 were on parole at the end of 2005. Prison releases are increasing, but admissions are increasing more.


Men still far outnumber women in prisons and jails, but the female population is growing faster. Over the past year, the female population in state or federal prison increased 2.6 percent while the number of male inmates rose 1.9 percent. By year's end, 7 percent of all inmates were women. The gender figures do not include inmates in local jails.

"Today's figures fail to capture incarceration's impact on the thousands of children left behind by mothers in prison," Marc Mauer, the executive director of the Sentencing Project, a Washington-based group supporting criminal justice reform, said in a statement. "Misguided policies that create harsher sentences for nonviolent drug offenses are disproportionately responsible for the increasing rates of women in prisons and jails."

From 1995 to 2003, inmates in federal prison for drug offenses have accounted for 49 percent of total prison population growth.

The numbers are from the annual report from the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics. The report breaks down inmate populations for state and federal prisons and local jails.

Racial disparities among prisoners persist. In the 25-29 age group, 8.1 percent of black men _ about one in 13 _ are incarcerated, compared with 2.6 percent of Hispanic men and 1.1 percent of white men. And it's not much different among women. By the end of 2005, black women were more than twice as likely as Hispanics and over three times as likely as white women to be in prison.

Certain states saw more significant changes in prison population. In South Dakota, the number of inmates increased 11 percent over the past year, more than any other state. Montana and Kentucky were next in line with increases of 10.4 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively. Georgia had the biggest decrease, losing 4.6 percent, followed by Maryland with a 2.4 percent decrease and Louisiana with a 2.3 percent drop.

VIDEO (1 min): "US Troops Make Iraqi Kids Run For Water"

Added September 14, 2006
From njdube

Lets make things clear, I have never been to Iraq let alone set foot out of the borders of the US. I received this video from someone who was over there. The person I got it from did not make the disk, they got it from a friend they met while over there. So there's no telling how many times this was handed down.

So stop sending me messages telling me to burn in hell. I will just ignore you and then block you.

If you work for the media and you want more info, I don't have it. What I do have are dozen of other short videos that where on the DVD that I received from the source. The other videos might shed some light and help answer some questions. Just put the pieces together and you might see the picture you're after.

Okay, this is sick, and this isn't even a tiny chunk of what's happening to the "Iraqi kids" over there, not to mention everyone else who's ignored in all the PSYOP (psychological operation) B.S. about "sectarian violence", as if the 200,000 foreign soldiers, trillion-dollar military and depleted uranium carpet-bombing aren't contributing to the worsening "conditions" on the ground.

And if you think (as some comments suggest) that we shouldn't care about the little bastards, let me make one point absolutely clear:

GUYS AND GIRLS WITH GUNS ARE BEING BRAINWASHED TO BE ASSHOLES.

GUYS AND GIRLS WITH GUNS ARE BEING BRAINWASHED TO BE ASSHOLES TO US.

Welcome home.

What - Martial Law has been declared?

What - the U.S. military has been privatized?

What - there's no running water after the "terror" attack?

What - we have to chase 19-year old assholes around to get it?

What - they're just shooting at us whenever for the fun of it?

What - they were doing this in other countries for years?

What - the fuck happened to us?
