A few facts on the American penal system..

I found this posted on another blog that I have been frequenting recently {headrambles}.
It's a segment taken from the BBC programme 'QI'....and the presenter, Stephen Fry {always interesting}, goes with the light entertainment / comedy flow of the programme but yet makes everyone stop in their tracks with the information that he gives on the subject been spoke about.
He gives a lot of facts and figures here in a short time about the American penal system which are very thought-provoking...
