<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.
John Locke was an English political philosopher in the 17th century. He published many great works, such as:
- An Essay Concerning Human Understanding: In this work, Locke states that individuals do not come to this world with innate ideas or beliefs, but as a blank sheet.

- Some Thoughts Concerning Education. This work can be considered one of his most influential works where he gives advices on how to educate and raise children. He believes children are just as capable as adults and should be treated as such.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Why is it that we do not see similar grocery stores in these areas as we do in more rural communities?
Because in modern and larger cities, supermarkets have a strict quality control system to take care of the food and always offer healthy food choices to consumers. The Federal and Drug Administration (FDA) is very strict about this issue.
As a result, what does this do to the health and well-being of the thousands of people living in that community?
These people who live in rural America have major health risks due to the condition and quality of the food they eat.
Food Deserts are considered places where poor people do not so many options about the kind of food they get and the quality of the food. They exist in the first place because poor people do not have the means to get a variety of nutritious food for their families. We can improve the situation for generations to come creating the kind of programs that allow all the people to get access to nutritious food at affordable prices, under the healthy conditions needed to keep the food safe and free of germs.
