I thought maybe drugs were behind most of the growth of prison populations, but that may not be. 


According to this:




We surely don't want to let violent offenders loose on the rest of society, do we?




Only one quarter, and those repeat offenders.  I was surprised at that, are you?




There is the key. Like most of society's ills, the burgeoning growth of prisons seems to be rooted in the decline of the family unit.


How sad. 


Of course, that's only Colorado, but that state seems to be a microcosm of the rest of the country.
