    Jesus fucking Christ. U.S. population in 1970 was 200,000,000 million, 280,000,000 in 2000, that’s 1.4 times higher. Compare that to the prison populations I already gave you, and you’ll see there 6 times higher by those same years, meaning the prison population grew way faster. I figured this out and wrote this in the time it took me to shit, maybe you could start looking this shit up yourself before you waste my time, especially since some of the sources you cited covered it.

        Whelp, since I’ve already addressed those points, I think we’re finally, really done here. Took a long time, but we finally got there! You can go ahead and have the last word if it will make you feel less wrong about everything.
