It's a good exercise to look at who is currently in jail on a given night in the US and decide for yourself how much incarceration could be eliminated. I say the goal should be 100%, but it might take 100 years and might stall out before 100%. That's fine by me.
But maybe you see this only as 50%. I'd be surprised if you did your own research though and came up with only 5%.
Here's a good starting point of who is in jail and why.
