According to the Justice Department's National Crime Survey, the
crime rate in the United States is lower today than it was when
Nixon was in the White House. In spite of this, political leaders
demand nationwide prison construction as a response to the "war on
drugs" and to accommodate the results of the new "three strikes"
law. At the same time, the gap between rich and poor is wider than
ever and the needs of the "non-disruptive poor" are being ignored
by the economic and political elites to the point of unprecedented
homelessness. The author predicts this widening gap will prompt the
return of 1960s-style civil turmoil which will lead to the end of
the "war on drugs" and the emptying of hundreds of thousands of
cells so the protesting poor can be plausibly threatened with
incarceration.
