You have no idea the number of AMERICAN LIVES are saved because of the use of these techniques. And do you think that any of these people would be so concerned for the welfare of American Soldiers being detained by Al Qaeda? We should take cues from Israeli Intelligence, not be rallying to protect people who have made it their mission in life to take out as many INNOCENT US CIVLIANS as possible while they blow themselves up, so that they can have their 40 virgins.

But, but, but…

We’re number one!

For the first time in U.S. history, more than one of every 100 adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report documenting the nation’s rank as the world’s No. 1 incarcerator.

The report urges states to curtail corrections spending by placing fewer low-risk offenders behind bars.

Using state-by-state data, the report says 2,319,258 Americans were in jail or prison at the start of 2008, one of every 99.1 adults. Whether per capita or in raw numbers, it’s more than any other nation.

The ballooning prison population is largely the result of tougher state and federal sentencing imposed since the mid-1980s. Minorities have been hit particularly hard: One in nine black men ages 20 to 34 is behind bars. For black women ages 35 to 39, the figure is one in 100, compared with one in 355 white women in the same age group.

The report, released Thursday by The Pew Center on the States, said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier. The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher-education spending, the report said.
