Are there more liberal prisoners than conservative prisoners?

Question

Generally speaking, liberals are more open minded, so would it make sense that most prisoners in the United States are liberals because conservatives are more likely to follow the social rules?

Does Martha Steward, Enron CEO, Worldcom CEO, and Aurther Anderson CEO can be counted as liberals who refused to follow rules and ended up in prison?

Answer 1

Probably, they are open minded to crime just like a liberal.

To the one down there who says liberals are more generous...have you seen the stats of charitable contributions of liberals vs. conservatives? Conservatives give much more money to charities.

Answer 2

Just because liberals are open minded doesn't mean that they don't follow the laws of the land.
A lot of the people who created some of the laws we follow today were liberals. I think the partisan difference is separating us as a nation. We need someone who can work on both ends of aisle so we don't have to many questions and insults regards other parties and beliefs. We can still respect other people who have different sets of beliefs than we do.

Answer 3

As I understand it, the Aryan Brotherhood makes up a big part of at least the white population in prisons. Somehow, I don't think they'd qualify as liberals.

Answer 4

Yeah. I don't think you've ever met a prisoner. Most of them don't even have the intelligence to feed themselves on the outside.

That's like saying: "Is this wild dog a liberal or a conservative"
But, then again. A dog can feed itself.

Answer 5

Most prisoners never been invovle with the political process. Therefore, they are niether conservatives nor liberals.

Answer 6

Conservatives being more greedy, violent, and agressive are more likely to be found in prison. They worship the almighty dollar a little bit too much. Liberals being more generous, nonviolent, and pacifist are more likely to be found in universities.

Answer 7

works for me..the more the merrier
