High Incarceration Rate Weighing On U.S. Economy, with Upside for Corrections Corp.

truthteller, not only are you bigoted and ignorant, but incredibly naive as well. you're a disgusting piece of racist garbage, and the essence of what is wrong with this country. the fact of the matter in this country is that blacks and hispanics are in prison in higher rates because they are targeted specifically by law enforcement and politicians. 2/3 of crack users are white, but nearly 80% of those imprisoned for crack cocaine are black. crack, which many consider to be a black drug, carries a literally 100 times more heavy penalty than powder coke, a white drug. the problem is not that blacks and hispanics are criminal. that is a pathetically ignorant assumption to make. that is the same kind of thinking that led to the segregationist-era south. you should wake up, craawl out from that rock you've apparently been living under since the middle of the 19th century, and start to focus on the real problem. Ignorant, asinine people who boldly claim "Facts" when they have no idea what they're talking about. Fact.
