I felt the question absurd: my opinion of releasing prisoners so jails reflect racial representation of the population. If that's what you meant by quota.

It could be done without tearing apart the country. Canada is changing the law that fills jails with persons convicted of relatively minor narcotic offences.

A pecking order of majorities over minorities is a recognized fact of life, seen more often perhaps in dispensing justice. True justice would open cells.

And there's Muhammed Ali's answer to two black boys in Atlanta who asked if he was going to prison because he said he had nothing against the Viet Cong:

"There are no rich men in the jails of America."

Keeping the wild dogs locked up and letting go the low-grade felons probably wouldn't do as much damage as Wall Street and the ginks in Washington have already done to the working men and women of America.
