increase in prison population  

Définition

  • It would be no exaggeration to say that during the past two decades the U.S. prison system has been a growth industry. There are now more than 2 million people behind bars in America, with an incarceration rate above 700 per 100,000 (if we include jails), triple what it was 20 years ago.
