Prisoner majority due to drug war! 4.8% of Texas adults in jail prison probation parole! : Indybay

35 years of Republicrat EVIL.
1968 to 2003. Creating the U.S.
Drug War Incarceration Nation
of arch-drug-warriors
Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II.

*Evil Drug War Prison Labor Camps! The Majority of the 2.1 million U.S. prisoners are incarcerated due to the Drug War! Drug crimes (24%), drug-related crimes (such as robbing to get money for drugs that are expensive because of the drug war), drug trade crimes, drug-related parole violations, etc.. The USA has 5% of the world's population and 24% (2.1 million) of the world's 8.75 million prisoners. As of the year 2000 the USA again had the world's highest incarceration rate! It is now 5 to 19 times higher than all other Western (long democratic traditions) nations. The U.S. rate is over 3 times higher than it was in 1980 during the first presidential election of far-right arch-drug-warriors Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6) and Nancy ("Just Say No") Reagan. The U.S. rate is almost 5 times higher than in 1971 when arch-criminal "law-and-order" President Richard Nixon declared a "war on drugs." 6.5 million U.S. adults, or 3.1% of all U.S. adults, or 1 in 32 adults in the USA, were under correctional supervision (in jail, in prison, on probation, or on parole) at yearend 2000. That is when the true Millennium ended, and when the governor (1994 to 2000) of Texas, and President-select, George W. Bush, the moron Antichrist, left a legacy of a full 1% of all Texans incarcerated! 1.3% of Texas adults are imprisoned today! Bush government waste: It costs around $25,000 per prisoner per year. Texas leads all other U.S. states with 4.8 percent of the Texas adult population under correctional supervision: jail, prison, probation, parole. Statistics, references, links, and charts:

*The majority of the 2.1 million prisoners in the USA are in due to the 666 drug war! This Reagan-Revolution, Reaganomics-era, Republican-led, "kinder gentler" Beast came slithering in wearing corporatist politicians' suits, and the robes of judges and fundamentalist ministers.
