Why? I find it quite appalling how you can dismiss about 1.4 million people just like that.

  I also find it quite appalling how people can commit a crime just like that, but here we are.

    Law and morality aren't the same. Maybe you find it appalling to harm others? But plenty of crimes don't harm others. So how do you feel about the rest? And if enough incarcerated people and non-incarcerated people collectively believe a thing, what makes the beliefs of the non-incarcerated special given that the beliefs are the same? By what we can assume is your reasoning based on your dismissal, if two thirds of the entire population believed that a thing should be legal but half of them were incarcerated for doing that very thing, the final third should be able to hold the incarcerated third hostage despite being significantly in the minority on the issue. That's highly irrational.

    "Three Felonies A Day - How the Feds Target The Innocent is the story of how citizens from all walks of life - doctors, accountants, businessmen,political activists, and others - have found themselves the targets of federal prosecutions, despite sensibly believing that they did nothing wrong, broke no laws, and harmed not a single person." http://www.harveysilverglate.com/books http://www.harveysilverglate.com/books
