[lbo-talk] Criminal stats question

Ok found it at
http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/pji96.pdf

and what these numbers show is criminal.  The so called criminal
"justice" system in this country is nothing more than a way of
railroading the poor to prisons.  

Another question - is it possible to refuse to serve on a jury because
of a belief that the justice system is fundamentally unfair? A sort of
claiming the conscientious objector status in the war on the poor ...
errr crime?
