<span>United
States incarceration rates in state and federal prisons remained remarkably
stable throughout the better part of the twentieth century, averaging
just over 108 people per 100,000 from 1925 to
1973. </span>But in
1980 the rate of US imprisonment increased by over 40 percent, from 97 per
100,000 people in 1970 to 139 per 100,000 people—the first increase of this
magnitude in American history. Between 1980 and the mid-2000s, the
incarceration rate nearly quadrupled, reaching an all-time high of 506 per
100,000 people by 2007, amounting to a total of 1,596,835 state and federal prisoners.
If one includes the estimated 780,174 people incarcerated in local jails that year,
by 2007 a total of 2,377,009 people were living behind bars in the United
States, or approximately 1 in 100 US adults. The trend of mass imprisonment in
the late 20th century could have been avoided if the State legislators could
have refused to criminalize drug use.
This isn't really history but-
to do this:
1. Add 15,000 and 1,250 together
2. The answer is 16,250 feet
I think Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette should have been killed in the French Revolution. The royal couple had to move out of the castle because of a mob that marched Versailles. In August 1792 they were arrested by the sans-culottes. In September the monarchy was abolished by the national convention. In November evidence of Louis XVI counter revolutionary intrigues with Austria and other foreign nations. Marie Antoinette was later found guilty of treason and was put to death
