Hmm, good point. The US prison population skyrocketed 1,664% between 1990 and 2009, and ZT became a thing in 1994. So yes, that makes sense.

Well, sure, if the police suddenly became 1,664% better at catching crooks.   :lulz:

Incidentally, if you times that number by 30, that's about how overexposed Goldman Sachs is in regards to derivatives versus its assets.

There's no such thing as "overexposed", when it comes to GS.  They're too big to fail.

I'd bet there's a large spike 1999-2002. Source? Looks like time for MATH

Yep. :horrormirth: Source for that first number here. (ETA: re-read the source and that's the private prison rate. The total increase between 1970, the beginning of the TUFF ON CRIME era, and 2005, the rate was 700%. Which is still breath taking, but more explicable than the other number, since private prisons only became a thing for adults in 1990).

I'll look when I get a chance.

Also, I haven't finished it, but there's a really good book on this subject, called Punishment for Sale, which I can get for anyone interested.
