	any ref's to people addressing the impact of this incarceration
rate on unemployment figures?  both in terms of removing people from the
labor force and in the impact of prison jobs.

	i.e. is it empirically plausible to claim what we are seeing is
the ole "employ half the masses to imprison the other half"?  or does this
theory just miss out on the profitability of prisons as the driving
factor?
