The U.S. prison population is astounding. We have more people incarcerated than any other country. We have almost 1% of the overall population locked up, and 1 in 28 kids have a parent in prison. Well over 2 million people are in prison in the United States.
The U.S. has more people locked up for non-violent drug offenses, than all offenders combined in all of Europe. We must decrease the amount of non-violent offenses we arrest people for.
