    It's because of our harsh drug sentencing. Much other harsh sentencing too and it leads to this rate because we incarcerate for almost every offense.

    The reason for constant petty arrests is down to the sheer amount of money to be made in the prison industry - the more incarcerated the more money to be made, basically. Police officers also benefit; the more arrests they make, the better. And considering crimes such as a small possession of cannabis can be on par with possession of heroin (for example), you can see why these pathetic arrests are made constantly and will continue to be made.

    "The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street. This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors.&#8221;

    I had a Norwegian exchange student in my highschool a years ago and he did a presentation on Norwegian prisons vs. US prisons. The Norwegian ones looked like a place I might want to vacation to. (Not really, but almost) And the US ones were obviously just downright awful. And Norway has a extremely low rate of prisoners. Also their sentences are short. Their rate of repeated crime is very low.
