My delightful, but star struck 9 year old, wants to do a speech on why celebrities are less likely to go to prison. Couldn't do something easy like the lifecycle of a sparrow could she? So, I'm put in charge of finding statistics to justify her claim. We've dug out the reasons people are in jail (with the difference % between federal and state prisons in the USA, but we don't know the actual difference between the two types of prison ) and those stats tell an interesting story if you read them right. However it would be great if someone knew of a site with real stats for people's wealth or social status and prison occupancy. Googling right now just gives you lots on that revolting hilton parasite so I really would appreciate a pointer! thanks Sarah
See what you can get out of these. Best I could do, but the facts intrigued me. No stats, but some nice explanations and statements. http://www.la.com/blog/7265311.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-elliott/rich-people-behaving-badl_b_47185.html
