“The United States leads the world, by a large margin, in the production of at least one thing: prisoners. We have 25 percent of the world’s inmates, but just 5 percent of the world’s population.  Where do they come from? Well, since the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, the number of American inmates has risen from approximately 300,000 to a currently estimated 2.3 million. This statistic points to the role of drug-related victimless ‘crime’ in creating prisoners.  There are other sources. The ‘private prison complex’ is a creation of crony capitalism through which privileged corporations are paid well for the ‘care’ of inmates and for leasing out prison labor to other businesses.”
