'The land of the free'

In the United States
there is (on average) one hospital
for every 55,000 people
and one prison for every
62,000 people.

Less than 5% of the world's population
locks up more than 25% of the world's prisoners.
In The World's Greatest Democracy
poverty is a crime.

My state's motto is "land of 10,000 laws"

Crikey, if we didn't have jails, where would we put the dissidents?
