America’s incarceration crises ....... 🦅
America is home to 4.25% of the world’s population and our country also has approximately 25% of the world’s inmates. Statics show that most of those inmates are incarcerated due to drug-related crimes.
America is now the most addicted nation in the world and many
drug addicts in the US are among the most serious and violent offenders it is due
to the realities of addiction. It is also the length of sentences that truly
distinguishes America from the other industrialized nations.
The number of sentences imposed would not place the United
States at the top of the incarceration lists. If lists were compiled based on
annual admissions to prison per capita, several European countries would
outpace the United States. But American prison stays are much longer, so the
total incarceration rate is higher.
