Step 1

Put this code in the <head></head> of your page:

<script src="http://www.prisonsucks.com/scripts/clock.js" 
language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>

Step 2

Change your <body> tag to read:

<body onload="startclock()">

Step 3

Put this code in the <body></body> of your page:

<form name="clock" onsubmit="0" action=""> 
<p>As of <input type="text" name="face" size="9" 
value="" /> today, there are an estimated <input 
type="text" name="pop" size="11" value="" /> people in 
U.S. prisons and jails. <span class="credit">
