Through an abundance of tolerance, an unwillingness to punish people for their misdeeds and defining deviancy downwards, we have created a perfect storm of how to fuck up a society in the least amount of time possible.

I feel like I keep posting this ad nauseum, but still....
Top 10 Countries with the highest rate of incarceration:
United States — 629
Rwanda — 580
Turkmenistan — 576
El Salvador — 564
Cuba — 510
Palau — 478
British Virgin Islands (U.K. territory) — 477
Thailand — 445
Panama — 423
Saint Kitts and Nevis — 423That doesn't really look like a country that's unwilling to punish people to me.

Comparing to other countries really isn't the best measure.
If money was no object, what is the optimal % of people incarcerated?
What is the goal?
The USA has 629 people per 100,000.
Let's try 1,000 per 100,000 and see how that works, don't worry about the rest of the world.
Also, let's remember our convicts are very comfortable and well educated compared to the rest of the world.
