A NATION BEHIND BARS, THE NEW APARTHEID
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A record 6.9 million adults were incarcerated or on probation or parole last year, nearly 131,000 more than in 2002, according to a Justice Department study. About 3.2 percent of the adult U.S. population, or 1 in 32 adults, were incarcerated or on probation or parole at the end of last year. --CNN
Apparently one in thirty two adults is a black male as well.

The policy is clear. Keep a healthy supply of guns and drugs in the poor neighborhoods. Felons can't vote.
