"The Federal prison population has increased more than 7-fold over the past 20 years"

- Bobby Scott

About this Quote

This quote by Bobby Scott is referring to the drastic increase in the number of individuals jailed in federal prisons over the past two decades. This is a concerning statistic, as it suggests that the criminal justice system is ending up being increasingly punitive and that more people are being jailed for longer periods of time. This might be due to a number of aspects, such as harsher sentencing laws, an increase in the number of individuals being charged with federal crimes, or a decrease in the number of people being launched from prison. Whatever the cause, this significant increase in the federal jail population is a troubling pattern that requires to be attended to. It is important to think about the underlying causes of this increase and to develop methods to lower the variety of people being incarcerated in federal prisons.

"I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!"
