That stat on the US only having small percentage of the world population, but a big percentage of the world prison population is deeply flawed.
Most of the world is a roiling ******** with billions of people whose countries can't afford to imprison their billions of criminals. And sometimes they just flat out murder them instead.
Our higher standard of living includes locking up offenders.
It is only going to get worse as more poor American kids are made with less need for them to exist. We don't need to pay for lots of healthy, educated "bodies," to wage our wars anymore, that time is over.
What I'm saying is we should start paying people to not have kids. And we should be happy to cut the check.
