United States of Incarceration.

Check out this Mark Fiore cartoon from Mother Jones. It makes a point I've made before here and elsewhere--building more prisons is not the solution to our growing prison population.

We need to pay attention people. Allowing our elected officials to get by with solutions that are nothing but band-aids--building more prisons, etc.--doesn't do anything to prevent crimes being committed, rehabilitate offenders, or create situations where released individuals can successfully survive outside of the institutionalized prison environment.
