With all due respect I disgust you? I've devoted my life to helping others, saved thousands of lives, repaired families and communities, won numerous awards, went through Y Combinator, raised millions of VC dollars, partnered with 300

While the US has approximately 5% of the world's population, it has more than 25% of the incarcerated population.

70 million represents 1/3 of all adults in the US. And yes, they all have records.
