By % the US prison population is much (about 5 times depending on the stats used) higher than other civilised countries. Why?

I have to agree with phase and pollewop and the philanthropist. minority populations are over represented in our prisons, over 50% of those incarcerated are for drug related offenses, it is estimated that 16%-33% of those in prison have mental illness, poverty prevents proper defense, and with our strong christian beliefs, we truly like to punish people. rehabilitation is out of the question.
