		<description><![CDATA[Two pieces that grabbed my attention recently:

Why Not Hang Them All: The Virtues of Inefficient Punishment, by David Friedman, son of Milton.  (JSTOR, or Google Scholar.)   Have you ever wondered why criminal justice systems around the world rely so heavily on imprisonment, despite the existence of more efficient alternatives such as fines [...]]]></description>
