News article title: "Study: 1 in 31 U.S. adults in prison system"

The title says all...absolutely incredible. And completely unacceptable. The newsvine comments included many, many murmurings of "police state," "prison nation," and "because of the failed war on drugs." Fortunately there is hope for all this. Someone suggested googling "restorative justice." Really, that seems to be what we need instead of lock-ups in most situations. And it looks like there's quite a few places taking that approach--(google it yourself)

Also someone provided a link to this interesting site:
