Well, I guess if I'm going to criticize Saudi Arabia, then I have to criticize the US also... because we have 1% of our adults behind bars.... China has similar numbers..but they have 4 times our population.
The sad thing is that this is starting to change... not because it's wrong... or because a better way has been proven effective... but merely because it's starting to COST TOO MUCH.
To be fair, a lot of these people deserve to be in prison... but not all of them, even if they are guilty as hell, there has to be a better punishment than just locking them up.
