I actually think it’s part of a vicious cycle— putting people in jail makes it much more likely that they’ll commit another crime. Not only because of who they are around, and the circumstances of their imprisonment, but because of the many opportunities closed off to them after being incarcerated. Further, I think that extreme inequality breeds crime, especially violent crime. This is a country with the most extreme inequality in modern history.
