"Of course you have links for your opinion?"

Sure.

The United States' incarceration rate is the highest in the world, at 737 persons imprisoned per 100,000[5]. A report released 2/28/08 indicates that in the United States more than 1 in 100 adults is now confined in an American jail or prison.[6] The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated population.[2]

In many countries, it is common for prisoners to be paroled after serving as little as one third of their sentences. In the U.S., most states strictly limit parole, requiring that at least half of a sentence be served. For certain heinous crimes, there is no parole and the full sentence must be served.
