More per capita than any other civilized or uncivilized nation on the planet.
It might be time to decriminalize a few things.
Like what?
I am personally for, as much as possible, allowing non-violent offenders to be given the chance to make amends to their victims or pay for their acts through community service.
The only people who should be going to prison are those that committed violent acts, massive financial fraud, or those that did commit non-violent offenses who are refusing to make amends or community service.
Decriminalize some things, but up the penalty for others. And not let immoral entities like the EU try to dictate our internal policy on criminal punishment either . . .
