A "More Than" Statistic NOT To Be Proud Of

Item in the KANSAS CITY STAR this morning:

"Johnson County will break ground today on a $60 million project that may give it the largest county jail system in Kansas"- larger than Wichita's Sedgwick County system.

America has the largest prison population of ANY Free World country. Certainly nothing to cheer about unless you're an attorney or make your nest egg off of other people's mistakes.
