That was useful, thanks - albeit the only thing that comes close to
class is education level.  Thus, around 1997 8.1% of federal prison
inmates, 2.4% of state prison inmates and 3.2% of local jail inmates had
a college degree.  I am pretty sure that most of these folks, despite
their education, did not have enough money to buy "justice."
