I'm sorry but you're not making sense to me. Bigger population in prisons does not prove more crime has occurred, as you asserted. There are other plausible explanations. I also have no cause to believe that police suddenly decided to under report crime during the past thirty years.

What I mean is the start of this conversation was
What will supporters of the police state say when their beloved police come to arrest them for racist hate speech, to confiscate their guns, and to force them to board trains headed to the concentration camps?
And then you immediately made fun of him for "thinking of criminals" but now you're here telling me prisons are corrupt and keeping lots of people who aren't prisoners. Which is it?

People who are not prisoners? They certainly are prisoners. You mean not deserving criminals, I didnt say they werent that, either. They same number of criminals might simply be kept in prison a lot longer than they had been, leading to a glut of imprisoned people.
In general, it's not that you're necessarily wrong, it's that you make big leaps of logic that aren't underpinned with hard facts, just conjecture.
