Can you hear me?

Prison nation

Lock 'em up especially if they're black. The United States has a far higher percentage of its population incarcerated than any other country in the world. I remember meeting a young woman who was visiting Berlin who asked me, "Don't you miss freedom?" At the time, I could only think to ask what she meant, now I would probably tell her that if what currently exists in the United States is freedom, I'll take my chances with the alternatives.

I realize that is a bit overstated. But just a bit.
