Shockfacts: ‘Justice’ US-style (Green Left Weekly / Australia)
The number of inmates in US jails jumped from 320,000 in 1980 to 2 million in 2000.

One out of every 142 people in the US is behind bars. <snip>

An average of US$7 billion a year for the past 10 years was spent building new jails and prisons. In California, only one college has been built since 1984, but 21 new prisons have been constructed. <snip>

People of colour account for more than 70% of inmates in US prisons.
