They are incapable of losing to the worst, but equally unlikely to beat the best. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Colts general manager Ryan […]
by Kent Sterling The number of people being warehoused in American prisons and jails continues to skyrocket because American justice is more about assessing punishment than causing behavioral change.
