路易斯安那州:世界的監獄之都

Louisiana: The world's prison capital
路易斯安那州:世界的監獄之都
2012-05-15
In the US, one out of every 100 citizens is in prison and a bulk of the inmates are minorities. America holds a quarter of the world's prisoners and Louisiana alone has thousands of inmates and is considered by some to be the prison capital of the world. The prison industrial complex has a vested interest in keeping people behind bars because they can bring in billions of dollars in profits.
在美國,每一百個公民中的一個是在坐牢,而大量的囚犯是少數民族。美國擁有世界上囚犯的四份一和僅路易斯安那州就有數千囚犯,及被一些人認為是世界的監獄首都。監獄工業複合物有一既定的興趣將人保持在鐵窗之後,因為他們能帶來數十億美元的利潤。
