TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- A new federal report says Louisiana has more men and women in prison, per capita, than any other state.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics, Louisiana had 797 inmates for every 100,000 residents at the end of 2005 - 62 percent above the national average.

K.C. Moon, the executive director of the Oklahoma Criminal Justice Resource Center, told the Tulsa World's Washington bureau ,"The states that have high incarceration rates are the states that tend to demand moral behavior from their citizens."

Or maybe, La. cops and prosecutors
are doing something correctly - to get juries to convict. Or maybe we've got a lot of outlaws, renegades, rebels. Maybe all of the above.

Any way...I figure my current efforts to get
our parish inmate population trained in construction trades and schooled in life skills and drug abuse recovery could be the right thing. I'm
sure gonna use the above stats in my fight. Because, but for the Grace of God, there go I.

Cops are great if you are rich and white.
Otherwise, cops suck,they are racist, they are corrupt, then they shoot you 50 times and you die

Rudy G. got rid of the homeless in Manhattan, and they are still wondering where the bodies are buried

Not so much other industry in La.

Sterotype The Thin Blue Line that protects you.
Yeah some are wrong, but most work too cheap, cause they care.
I guess all troops are dirty cause some zap women and children.

And, I hear most the bodies are buried in Jersey...



Perhaps true..., but we have 25 work-release parish inmates workin'
on river tugs, and if off-shore exploration is rejuveniated,
maybe there will be options to reduce the prison industry.
