World Incarceration & Murder Rates

Two years of incarceration shortens a man's life expectancy by an average of one year, so two million men incarcerated is a shortened life expectancy of 1 million years annually.  With a life expectancy of 73 years, this is the equivalent of 13,700 lives per year

	Failure to prosecute adultery laws put more American citizens in prison than any other nation, one million more than Russia and half a million more than China.
	American men constitute one third of the men in the world who are behind bars.
	No country's incarceration rate increased as rapidly as the US rate increased between 1985 and 1995, while many decreased.
	More Americans are imprisoned than the total number of citizens imprisoned in 57 different countries around the world.
	The US incarceration rate is TWENTY TIMES (20x)  & our violent crime rates are 5 times (5x) higher than those of Japan.
	If the US incarceration rate were equivalent to Japan, there would be 1.9 million fewer Americans in prisons.
	If the US incarceration rate were commensurate with our 5x higher crime rates than many countries, there would be 1.3 million fewer Americans in prisons.
	The convictions of most of those EXTRA 1.3 million Americans were based on false allegations filed by women against men.
	DNA evidence frees 12 more convicted prisoners in Illinois.
	Women in law in Illinois.
	Incarceration rates in contiguous states vary due to women in law.
	At the current rate of growth, there will be 2.2 million prison and jail inmates in the US by the year 2001.
	The life expectancy of 2.2 million incarcerated men is reduced by 1.1 million years, which is the equivalent of 15,068 lives.

The following table, constructed from data at http://www.sproject.com/press-12.htm which is no longer accessible, is consistent with the UN data above.
 

The US has 18 times as many citizens per capita in prisons and jails than Japan.

Even though Russia has a higher incarceration rate, the US has 782,628 more jail and prison inmates than Russia.

 Rather than reducing violent crimes like murder, the international data shows that countries with the highest incarceration rates also have the highest murder rates--murder rates per 100,000 population increase by 1 for each 40 additional prison inmates per 100,000 population.

Between 1985-1995, the incarceration rates of most countries decreased, while the rate in the US almost doubled.

Contrary to high incarceration rates, good education quality is more effective at reducing prison populations--the international data shows that each 2 1/2 TIMSS point increase in math scores reduces prison populations by one inmate per 100,000 population.
