    Who thought that imprisoning criminals leads to a reduction of crime? He must be crazy! :omg:

    ..that is not what it is saying; crime is going down, and yet there are more criminals locked up. Which is not surprising, given the monetary incentive :)

      The trouble is that if you rope that "horse" of yours to the bars, it's likely to pull the whole building away.

        If a criminal is locked up he isn't able to commit crimes, thus the decrease. It just means that police forces are better at jailing criminals before they can commit a relevant number of crimes.

          First part of your argumentation is incorrect. You can commit crimes while being locked up. You are also assuming that crimes are mostly committed by repeating criminals.

                Why waste the gas. There are a lot of jails here where if you time it right, you can walk right out the front door.

                  The Dutch have already built one wall; all <you know who> needs to do is to flood Belgium and Germany, and they'll build the others themselves. :laugh:

                      Hello. This is no fun but I wonder if there is a public web-searchable - or other "inquire-able" - way to find out if a person has been incarcerated in the state of New York. And if he/she is not, could such inquiries/searches get this person into any trouble? A person dear to me, across the Atlantic, has vanished from the face of the earth. Thanks a bunch.

                              You're dating Hillary? Wait, I'm confused. ;P Well, I see the lounge has gone off on the typical HILARIOUS tangent, but no, you cannot get in trouble for inquiring about someone. I'm sure there are more than just the State of NY's incarceration web site to help you out. Enable your google fu.
