  2.3 Million Prison Uniforms

  William, please tell me you didn't miss the greater point that other countries might have instituted a "purge" policy in order to thin their inmate populations.
  
  No, we shouldn't have this many prisoners incarcerated across the country but it seems to me we have 2 problems...the first being ridiculous mandatory minimums for drug convictions and lengthy terms for white collar crimes. The second is clearly societal and we need to look inward and address the problems that are contributing to elevated crime rates. Where is the sense of personal responsibility in this country? What is happening to our families to have so many of them split apart? Why aren't we more involved with our children in order to know what they're doing and when they are straying down a wrong path? Why are convicted violent offenders being released (often early) only to be reincarcerated for committing an even more heinous crime?
  
  I could go on and on.....
