"Crime doesn’t pay — but it costs a fortune. The city spent about $167,000 per inmate last year and had 12,287 prisoners on an average day, according to the Independent Budget Office’s first-ever study of the Big Apple’s jails."
I read somewhere: "According to information provided by the state of Washington more than 90% of felony defendants were indigent at the time of their arrest." (I believe it was in the fall 2004 issue of Justice Matters, but I have not been able to find that published online).
There are a lot of blacks in prison, but that's not because police, judges and juries are racist. It has more to do with the fact that in America justice is for sale, and often the biggest criminals never see the inside of a jail or a prison!

The following in a short excerpt from the article: (Mark Levin Blasts Both Democrats and Gutless Republicans for the Destruction of this Country):
"You should view these politicians with the deepest contempt you can possibly imagine. What they are doing to this country, what they are doing to our finances - there is not a criminal in any federal prison, state prison, city or county jail, with respect to financial crimes of any sort who collectively could have done the kind of damage that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and YES, willing, timid, gutless Republicans have done to this country, to your future, to your children and grandchildren! What they are doing is with malice and forethought."
