Memo to Blacks: If you are traveling, avoid these Worst 10 States. If you live in South Dakota, West Virginia, Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Maine or Utah, MOVE! Low Black population States incarcerate Blacks most.

At 2.2 million, the US has the highest prison population in the world - and it’s only growing. Prison system has fallen victim to overcrowding; overzealous incarceration; abuse; unaccountability and inadequate health care - "the new asylums"

the State Department opposes ignoring the Geneva Conventions, and has warned the Bush administration that not only could US soldiers be denied protection of the conventions but that President Bush could also be prosecuted for war crimes.
