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."
