Incarceration rate is an invalid indicator. You need to look at the crime rate, the release rate, and the rehabilitation rate.
There are cycles of poverty and culture causing this but the government’s actions turn SF into both a honeypot and an accelerant for crime. It does this by turning a blind eye to crime both in talk and action.
Criminals know that SF is a great place to commit crime. This draws them in from all over and they commit more crime.
The DA is selling the narrative of rehabilitation but the criminals are just taking advantage of it to just commit more crime.
