Peter Cuthbertson at Centre Right flags a terrific George Will column with up some wonderful headlines from the New York Times:
1997
Crime Keeps on Falling, But Prisons Keep on Filling
1998
Prison Population Growing Although Crime Rate Drops
2000
Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime Reduction
2003
More Inmates, Despite Slight Drop in Crime
There are few more maddening phenomena than the closed outlook of the liberal mind.
It's not cause and effect; more effect and cause. Prisons fill up, crime falls. Whodathunkit?
