Re: [In Communist Cuba.....] "60 thousand during the 1960's. Amnesty International points out that in the mid-1970's, some 20 thousand prisoners had been freed." All true. Of course that was THEN... and this is NOW. (During the 1960s / 1970s the US's imprisonment rate was much lower then it is now also....) My post, all my comments, referred to the STATE OF THINGS now. In 2007/2008. Today. In the world today. (Where the US leads all nations in the percentage of citizens we have behind bars.) You post does not disagree with anything I've posted.
