Not everyone in prison has harmed or threatened to harm others.
As an example, it was only 2003 when the US Supreme Court struck down a Texas sodomy law—and if they hadn’t, the victims of the law would probably have been imprisoned.
How many people in the US are in jail and prison on drug possession charges again? Many stadiums’ worth.
