"1-in-100" Report

I'm sure you all saw this yesterday:

A new report from the Pew Center on the States indicates that one in 100 Americans is behind bars (in jail or prison) -- the highest incarceration rate in our nation's history.

You can check out the full report, published by the Pew Center's Public Safety Performance Project, here. A New York Times article about the report's findings can be found here.
