No need.

The 'numbers' were quoted in the ORIGINAL article I posted... and the original sources.

(With stories about this matter from the Associated Press, Washington Times, etc., etc., which apparently were all sourced from an analysis by the Pew Research Center for the States.)

As I posted:

Pew Study: pewcenteronthestates.org

No doubt there have been MANY, MANY articles written about the US's incarceration rate... but you should probably start with the source material if you want to question any of the basic facts.
