I don't for one second believe Americans are more prone to criminality than every other society on earth. So given that the US has less than 5% of the world's population but 25% of the world's prison population, something is terribly wrong here.
And yet, on or about February 15th, the US will incarcerte its 2,000,000th prisoner. So on the 15th, in most major US cities, there will be vigils held to protest the US prison industry.
