United States Has More People in Incarceration Per Capita than any Other County in the World!

K THROUGH 3 is NOT about working with the prison population - RATHER it is about STOPPING the increase in our prison population. It is about improving the quality of life for "every" individual in our communities.

It is easy to find facts to support the horrors of our prison population.

Take a visit to google.com - on my last search I found over 33,000,000 hits for prison population - - there is nothing that I can add to what has already been published from current data facts. The facts speak for themselves, take some time and check out some of those sites.

Here's a couple sites that touch on the facts. These facts do effect your life.

-"Imprisonment is one of the main forms of punishment for the commission of crimes within the United States of America, and according to some reports, the country has some of the highest incarceration rates in the world. Some feel the high levels are due to the long sentences, especially for non-violent crimes.

There is a popular belief that repeat offenders are not properly handled and that more focus should be on rehabilitation. A survey showed that among the nearly 300,000 prisoners released, 67.5% were rearrested within 3 years, and 51.8% were back in prison" - www.answers.com/topic/prisons-in-the-united-states

While checking facts in regards to the current trends, notice that there are almost three million (3,000,000) inmates in United States. And an alarming fact of the increase in women being incarcerated. Be sure to search for the number of babies being born to inmates, number of child left for the state to be cared for after their parent are incarcerated. For every inmate there are victims. Remember, victims come in all forms.
