We have half the convicts for the whole human race. It certainly is madness.

There's a certain very punishment-oriented thread of thought that runs thru the American psyche.
It extends all the way up to natural disasters- you'll hear all sorts of gnashing about how 'God is punishing the USA' from the psycho Christian camp.

It gets worse the farther you travel into the middle of the continent. My neighbor spent a year in prison out in Kansas for possession of marijuana. A year of his life, costing the state over 15,000 dollars, because he had some smoke on him.
