Incarceration rates in this country are sky-high compared to others with lower crime. Crime rates were decreasing well before incarceration boomed, too. The evidence is incredibly clear that incarceration is not an effective anti-crime measure, to anyone willing to look.

I would suggest people making this claim learn about the difference between correlation and causality. And then look at El Salvador. It is incredibly clear that increased incarceration lowers crime.
