According to The Pew Charitable Trusts' Public Safety Performance Project Report: The U.S. prison incarceration rate will continue to grow, from 491 per 100,000 U.S. residents in 2005 to 511 in 2006, then to 550 in 2011. 2007-09-05T14:16:29-04:00 89ade5ae105f6ac40110700cb1c408de false 89ade5ae14bdd1cb0114d6e3399c0790 89ade5ae14bdd1cb0114d6e33be60791 Bookmark 2008-11-08T08:22:43-05:00 Bureau of Justice says : 737 people in prisons and jails /100 000 US population for 2005. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/p05.htm 2008-01-14T09:44:21-05:00 false 89ade5ae17659268011778c218490481 89ade5ae17659268011778c21afe0482 Bookmark 2008-11-08T08:22:43-05:00 The political Basque prisoners are 750. They were dispersed in more of 80 jails. Every weekend, their families give 20 turns around the earth, while they go and they return of the jails. On a population of 3 million inhabitants, 750 political prisoners are a lot. Proportionally, as if in Spain there was 10.000 political prisoners. Basques live under an exception state. 2008-11-13T10:06:08-05:00 false 99d8b68eb19411ddba17000255111976 8a5e5c22b19411ddba17000255111976 Bookmark 2008-11-13T10:06:08-05:00 "On a population of 3 million inhabitants, 750 political prisoners are a lot" that just told us there are too many people in the Basque country killing for political reasons instead of trying to get a proper sexual life. We all know the problem in Basque country is a sexual problem, not a political problem. Political prisioners != killers & terrorists Even then, i agree with you about the prisoners dispersion. 2008-11-13T10:42:04-05:00 false 9efe457ab19911ddba17000255111976 9ca51376b19911ddba17000255111976 Bookmark 2008-11-13T10:42:04-05:00 The number of basque political prisoners is exactly zero. Convicted murderers of men, women, and children are not political prisoners, are just abominable coward criminals. Nobody in Spain gets in jail because of political ideas since late seventies, when we switched to democracy. Please don´t give credit to bullshit about "basque political prisoners". For more information, look for "ETA" in wikipedia or any other source. 2008-11-14T05:34:56-05:00 false e1224f8eb23711dda920000255111976 Bookmark 2008-11-14T05:34:56-05:00
