I was originally skeptical of this. Based on what I found it seems like incarceration levels are about 1.27x higher for violent crimes. State data: Total violent crimes (2020): 651,800 Non violent crimes (property/drug/public order/other) (2020): 141,100/131,600/109,100/6,800. Total=388,600 Federal data: Total violent crimes (2020): 10,547 Non violent crimes: (property/drug/public order/other) (2020): 5,950/66,474/58,894/433, Total = 131,751 Combined: Violent crime (2020): 662,347 Non-violent crime (2020): 520,351 With that said, there is massive disparity in federal crimes, where there are almost 7x the sentences for drug crimes compared to violent crimes. But that includes trafficking etc. and can't be characterized as 'simple possession' https://felonvoting.procon.org/incarcerated-felon-population-by-type-of-crime-committed/ https://felonvoting.procon.org/incarcerated-felon-population...
