The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world: It
has only 5% of the world's population, but one-quarter of its prisoners.
U.S. prisons are dangerously overcrowded, house 10 times as many
mentally ill individuals as state hospitals, keep people locked up for
unfathomably long periods of time, are plagued by inmate abuse and hold
a far greater percentage of the country's black population than South
Africa did under apartheid. Nearly two-thirds of the inmates released
every year return to prison; crippling discrimination in employment and
housing encumbers the ones who manage to function. This is all to say
that if you are convicted of an imprisonable crime in the U.S., you
generally get shown little mercy.

Sweden's prison system boasts impressive numbers. As the Guardian notes,
in the past decade, the number of Swedish prisoners has dropped from
5,722 to 4,500 out of a population of 9.5 million. The country has
closed a number of prisons, and the recidivism rate is around 40%, which
is far less than in the U.S. and most European countries.

Good luck with them. Apples and oranges.

Hey! I know! The U.S. government should put YOU in charge of the nation's prison systems and you could let all the Negro inmates run free! That way, no one could call you a racist. If they had fathers to teach them to behave when they were savage children they wouldn't grow up to be savage adults. The time to keep someone out of a life of crime is when they are children. Thanks to Socialist programs, there are a lot of fatherless savages running amok. In the UK, you're importing a lot of savages from The Middle East who want to kill all you Infidel and take over your country. Once you allow them in, they breed like rabbits and will soon outnumber the natives. Destructive invasive species are like that. You have your own problems. Why don't you address those predicaments before before criticising others. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Make them watch it 24/7.

Make em watch endless loops of Coronation Street 24/7.
That'll either make them want to commit suicide or they'll promise
to become an angel.

Sweet Jaysus, a soap opera that been going on for 57 years? While what
passes for our public TV station loves Brit shows, possibly because
they're cheap, I don't think they ever got into that one. A couple of
episodes of 'Doc Martin' is enough.


Do you get Eastenders in the US?

Well we've got hundreds to choose from.

Just about. My TV is basically the display for the DVD player though I
do infrequently watch PBS shows like Austin City Limits that are
broadcast. It is a revelation to me when I''m traveling to see the
number of channels on the motel TV. It sometimes takes me 5 minutes to
cycle through them all before I shut the damn thing off and go back to
reading.

Yes, we should have repatriated the former slaves. Give them a mule and
40 acres in Liberia. We also failed to eliminate Teddy Kennedy along
with his brothers; he was instrumental in the 1965 immigration 'reform'.

The Brit's were jealous of the Dutch and got into the slave trade.
Look back at ship conditions, packed in like sardines (modern day over
crowding). Look at how the Brit's treated Americans they put in ship
hulls. Our criminal law comes from English common law we adopted as a
new nation. Some of America's oldest prisons look like castles
dungeons.

They could pay reparations if they are so noble and advanced civil
countries.

Do you get Eastenders in the US?


Never heard of it and thankfully after reading the Wiki page:

"Complaints against a scene in which Little Mo's face was pushed in
gravy on Christmas Day were upheld by the Broadcasting Standards Council. "


I'll admit Christmas could be a little chancy when I was growing up but
there were no incidents involving gravy. There was that time at a
crowded Midnight Mass when I tried to lean against the wall and fell
into the confessional... Nobody noticed. Christmas Midnight Mass is no
place for the sober.

Have we overtaken them like we did with internet speeds?* In the 90s, my
friends in the USA had a Mbit when we had modems doing 33kbps.

Dunno, but mine's now 60Mbps down, 18 up.
