The Chirp of the Cicada I’m still searching for it, still waiting for the sounds of three basslines to invade my ears, the harmonics of three powerful voices coming together in WEDNESDAY complete unity to dismantle any preconceived notions you have about good AUGUST 12 rock ’n’ roll. This is me waiting for the sounds of Chicharra. Comprised of Mauro Woody, Monica Demarco, Marisa Demarco (all three ladies singing Sister 407 Central NW and playing bass), John Butler and Henry Hutchinson, the band is playing a alibi.com/e/158962 show at Sister (407 Central NW) on Wednesday, Aug. 12. I first caught sight of the band at Burt’s Tiki Lounge after seeing Sleater-Kinney at the 8pm Sunshine Theater. It was a loud, raucous and transcendental end to the evening, with these three powerful women tearing up the stage and wailing away on bass. Absolutely incredible. This is a group you might want to keep an eye on. I see bright things in their future. The band bills itself as “insect glam metal,” and if you’re interested in finding out what that is, just be there by 8pm, and take $5 with you. Circuit Des Yeux and Marisa Anderson open.

I’ve heard the US has the highest percentage of its population incarcerated of any country in the world. Is there a single crime or category of crime in which we excel that puts us in the top spot? Or are we just better at committing crime across the board? My guess is the war on drugs accounts for much of our prison population. Can you provide a breakdown showing how we've achieved our less-than-enviable position? —David Burns

The drug war contributed, but it’s not the major factor behind our crazy high imprisonment rate. only 16 percent of those doing time. The majority of What does explain it then? I’ll just say the more you state prisoners—54 percent as of 2012—were delve into this, the more complicated it gets. convicted of violent crimes, 19 percent of property Let’s review the incarceration rate, first crimes and the remainder everything else (e.g., discussed in this space in 2004.

Assuming a total prison population, including pretrial that 20 percent of the 744,500 US pretrial detainees, of 2.24 million. This works out to 716 detainees (as of 2012) are likewise in on drug prisoners per 100,000 people, the highest rate in charges, then if everyone behind bars for drug the world. offenses were freed, the U.S. incarceration rate Let that soak in. Consider: would be 573, which would still put us third highest •The US has 4.4 percent of the world’s in the world.

Informed opinion attributes it to harsh laws Russia (680,000 prisoners) and China (1.64 million and policies spurred by fear of rising crime during sentenced prisoners plus 650,000 in the and ‘80s that imposed stiffer penalties pretrial/administrative detention). for a broad spectrum of offenses. • In terms of imprisonment rate , our closest Now let’s stride boldly into a minefield. Is the US competitors are mostly tiny island countries. imprisonment rate high because we’re locking up so (Number two: Saint Kitts and Nevis, 714.) Among many black people? At first blush, no—leave black major nations, the closest to us is Russia, 475. The prisoners out of the picture and the US world average is around 150; for western European incarceration rate is still 458, putting us in a tie for countries, it’s around 100. Up till 1970, that’s what it 10th worldwide with St. Martin. If we don’t count was for us too. any nonwhites, the incarceration rate would be 239, • The US incarceration rate bears no close still well above the world average. relation to the crime rate. The percentage of Some will say: The white convicts were caught Americans in prison rose sharply between 1970 and up in draconian sentencing laws mainly aimed at 1999 and has fluctuated since then, but remains close minorities, and specifically at black men. to the historical peak. In contrast, US rates for violent Let’s break that down. Do stiffer drug penalties and property crime started heading up in the early single out black people? The numbers say no. Of 1960s, peaked in 1991, and since then have fallen by state prisoners, 14 percent of whites are in for roughly half. In other words, for the past quarter drugs, 15 percent of Hispanics and 16 percent of century, the US crime and imprisonment rates have blacks—no big diff. headed in opposite directions. Violent crime? That’s another story. Of state Some will say: Well, of course—the crime rate prisoners, 49 percent of whites were convicted of has gone down because all the troublemakers are in violent offenses vs. 58 percent of blacks and 60 jail! That’s not proven, but even if it were, think what percent of Hispanics. Inquiring further, we find it would say about us: We throw the book at people whites constitute 80 percent of the US population less because of the crimes they did commit than and 32 percent of imprisoned violent criminals.
