That there is a lot of crime in the US is a problem, but it's another thing to argue that such incarceration is not entirely warranted. The US has cultural issues that don't remotely exist in the rest of the civilized world. There are a few dozen 'violence zones' i.e. S. Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans that are extremely violent, to the point that such violence is unknown in the rest of the civilized world. Only S. America and Africa have spots that compare.
