| | MTWT Out of State Index, Prisons in America |
 | | Although many state prison systems are now called "departments of corrections", the 'get-tough-on-crime' mentality of three strikes, jailing of the non-violent, and mandatory minimums have resulted in the mass incarceration of more than two million people at once here in America. |
 | | No matter what you think about prisoners, for the sake of public safety, we have got to use incarceration only as a last resort, so that we can return to the concept of education and rehabilitation. |
 | | The information on these pages is not intended to disrupt the smooth, lawful running of prison facilities, but to force the true costs of the incarceration of over 2 million people to be brought to light. |
