Locked Up: How the Modern Prison-Industrial Complex Puts So Many Americans in Jail

There’s no two ways about it: The United States of America and its 50 state governments love putting people in prison.

The U.S. has both the highest number of prisoners and the highest per capita incarceration rate in the modern world at 655 adults per 100,000. (It’s worth noting that China’s incarceration statistics are dubious, and they execute far more people than the United States. Indeed, the so-called People’s Republic executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.) Still, that’s more than 2.2 million Americans in state and federal prisons as well as county jails.

It is very costly to put criminals in prison. The 50 state governments do not "love" putting people in prison.

The reason that they put them in prison, is that it is cheaper than having them free to commit more crimes and for the safety and well being of the public.

It is expensive to put criminals in prison. None of the 50 states "love" to put criminals in prison.

The reason they do so is that it is cheaper than leaving them free to commit additional crimes and to protect the safety and well being of the public.
