"To be an American is to live with the festering background knowledge that you are in a land that imprisons more of its people than any country in the history of the world - a land with more prisoners than Stalin's USSR or Hu Jintao's China or P.W. Botha's Apartheid South Africa."
--Cory Doctorow, "The Bezzle"
