[lbo-talk] [WTF] More than 10% of Texans currently wanted bypolice

Jordan says there are more people in jail in the U.S. because there is a 
higher incidence of violent crime.

Then why aren't all the U.S. soldiers fighting in  Iraq and Afghanistan 
in jail? And the generals?

I'd call what's happening in Iraq and Iran "violent crime."

If you have a system where some people go to jail when others, doing the 
same thing, don't, then I don't see how we can talk about prisons being 
in any way connected to justice.
