      Only at the federal level, which is a much smaller portion of the prisons in the us. From the first thing I found, there are more people simply sitting in a jail waiting for trial than there are in federal prisons [1]. Which is an issue considering the lobbying the businesses do [2] - they are very much invested in keeping their businesses going and keeping folks in jail.
