NPR presentation of this story this very afternoon: "the rate of incarceration continues to increase even as the crime rate decreases."

Leaving alone the intentionally misleading use of the phrase "rate of incarceration", NPR takes a clear cause-and-effect relationship and makes it sound like a contradiction in terms, another example of the absurdity of life under the GOP in America. Well, perhaps I exaggerate a little.

Yea, funny.

When you put more felons in jail, the amount of violent crime declines.

Let me say it another way.

More Felons in Jail. Less Crime.

or,

Punish bad guys. Help good guys.

The Libs just won't get it.

I was listening to Democrat Peoples' Radio this afternoon, too!! I was shocked to hear that startling revelation!
That they would finally admit the crime rate goes down when the prison population goes up!
Did it sound to you like they reported it negatively (LOL!)? Did to me.
No wonder that the Rats want to register and vote them. It'd be Rats by a landslide, all things being equal as/per the 2000 election.
