The exploding prison population isn't because we have more criminals in America, it's because we have more politicians determined to prove they are "tough on crime!"
The vast majority of "crime" for which these "criminals" are incarcerated, doesn't harm anyone except themselves. And sometimes, not even then; many "felons" harmed no one at all, but broke some rule on paper.
