Prison fact of the day
Prenosim kratko informaciju koju sam prije nekog vremena pokupio na Marginal Revolution blogu a koja me je poprilično fascinirala.
Elem, svi znamo da je Jamerika zemlja u kojoj dosta ljudi provodi vrijeme iza brave (ako se dobro sjećam podatka, preko 2 milijuna Amera je u zatvoru). Zašto ih tako puno završi u pržunu u odnosu na recimo Evropu – pa padaju mi napamet neke ideje (slaba socijalna država, crnačka populacija koja se još uvijek slabo integrira u društvo, fiksacija američkog zakona na droge, ...)
Ali, evo što kaže Tyler Cowen, a koji sam prenosi informaciju iz (časopisa ?) Harper's Index (April 2007).
Percentage of American adults held in either prison or mental institutions in 1953 and today, respectively: 0.67, 0.68
Percentage of these adults in 1953 who were in mental institutions: 75
Percentage today who are in prisons: 97
Asti sto – otvara se nova perspektiva. Percentage of these adults in 1953 who were in mental institutions: 75
Percentage today who are in prisons: 97
Jer, broj ljudi koji je „odstranjen“ iz društva se u stvari u Americi u zadnjih 50 godina nije skoro uopće promijenio !?
Jedino, prije su ih slali u ludnice, a sad ih šalju u zatvore ...
Now, that you can call progress

UPDATE: Ehem, neutrino je (sasvim opravdano) tražio malo više statistike, pa evo što sam našao (link pdf 49 KB):
- The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 701 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Russia (606), Belarus (554), Kazakhstan and the U.S. Virgin Islands (both 522), the Cayman Islands (501), Turkmenistan (489), Belize (459), Bermuda (447), Suriname (437), Dominica (420) and Ukraine (415).
- However, more than three fifths of countries (60.5%) have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The United Kingdom’s rate of 141 per 100,000 of the national population places it above the midpoint
in the World List; it is the highest among countries of the European Union.)
- However, more than three fifths of countries (60.5%) have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The United Kingdom’s rate of 141 per 100,000 of the national population places it above the midpoint

Dakle, ako je Velika Britanija sa stopom 141 zatvorenika na 100.000 "najgora" u Evropskoj uniji, a US ima stopu od 701 zatvorenika na 100.000, onda je očito da je Jamerika po tom pitanju "gora" od Evrope onako u prosjeku, aproksimativno, brat bratu barem 4-5 puta :-))))).
Eto, lipo je i to znati.
