The New York Times reports that the prison growth of U.S. inmates is at its Lowest Rate in 3 Decades according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The number of state prison inmates fell, while the total number of inmates rose only 1.1%.
Considering there are still over 2 million people in American prisons, this is hardly something to shout about.
