Government Cages, and the Criminals In Charge - lewrockwell.com
"...America’s system of mass incarceration,
in which we today imprison 25 percent of all the world’s prisoners
although Americans are only 5 percent of the global population...most prisoners
are poor and never had adequate
legal defense...people of color in our urban 'internal
colonies' are worth nothing on the streets but, in cages, each generates
$40,000 to $50,000 a year for corporations"
-----------
The following quote comes from a small newsletter called Justice Matters (fall issue, 2004):
"According to information provided by the State of Washington, more than 90% of felony defendants were indigent at the time of there arrest."

What's It Like to Visit Rikers?
What's It Like to Visit Rikers? - newser.com
Excerpt from this article:
"News that Rikers Island prison is investigating the alleged smuggling of drugs and weapons by guards prompts Dateline producer Dan Slepian to recount his first visit to the facility in the course of his work. Think every airport security or bank line you've ever been in, then multiply by a factor of 10 or so."
