There ought to be a law
Christian Century, May 31, 2005
> THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW: Though the crime rate has fallen over the past decade, the prison population in the U.S. continues to rise. From mid-2003 to mid-2004 the prison population grew by over 900 each week, reaching a total of 2.1 million people, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. This increase is largely due to get-tough policies instituted in the 1980s and '90s, including the three-strikes-and-you're-out laws for repeat offenders (USA Today, April 25).
