I also suspect that some of reasons the figure is so high is the efficiency of our justice sytem and public reporting--I certainly would not trust any figures coming out of Russia, China, or North Korea on these statistics. And corruption isn't as rampant as in some countries.

Still, no question there's a problem. I wonder what percent of the total prison population is minority? Like 90%?
