Is my America in jail?

Yes. According to Fred Nold’s Legacy, “America does a better job of putting people in prison than any other country. Just over two million Americans are behind bars right now, a number that has been growing far quicker than the overall population for more than 20 years. The impact of this mass imprisonment is felt especially in the African-American community, where one in 12 men are in prison or jail.” So yes, our defunct, morally corrupt legal system has put much of my America in jail. In late 2006, one in a hundred Americans were behind bars.
