So you think we have too many laws? Too many ‘victimless crimes”? Georgia has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. Read the stats.
“If you’ve ever wondered about this question, then this 2010 study is for you!
About 25% of the total US adult black population has a felony, while 6.5% of adult non-blacks have a felony conviction. About 8.6% of the adult population has a felony conviction.
Florida is a particularly egregious police state. 35% of adult blacks in Florida have felony conviction, 14% of the total adult population in Florida have a felony conviction.
About 20 million people have a felony conviction in Amerkia (sic). That works out to about 1 in 12 adult Americans.
Note, those numbers are for 2010. Looking at the growth rate trajectory, we are probably up to around 24 million people today in 2014 with a felony conviction. This means we are probably pushing 10% of the adult population today.”
