somebody supersized san quentin

america's most overcrowded prison system (california) also has the highest recidivism rate coincidence? riiiight.

when i passed on the prison stats bulletin a while back, one of my friends responded with, "i wonder what those numbers would look like if they only locked up violent offenders?" i wonder, indeed.

the dude who wrote, directed and starred in the documentary, "super-size me" has a series you may have seen, called "30 days" and this season he is going to air the episode he made when he put himself in a county jail for 23 days. he says, "I think there's a lot of good, honest, genuine people in there who made a mistake ..."

food for thought.
