And yet, the US has 6 times the number of people imprisoned as China
does per 100,000 people. 50% more actual prisoners. We must be doing
something really wrong.

I've wondered about that. Numbers alone don't always tell the entire
story. Do we have more crime? Harsher penalties? Do we have less
tolerance to petty crimes than other countries?

Given the number of repeat offenders, prison does not seem to be much of
a deterrent.
