Around 1% of the adult American population is currently incarcerated in the United States, the highest prison population in the world, & forms around a quarter of all prisoners worldwide.
There are many conspiracy theories regarding such a high incarceration rate most of which have to do with the privatisation of the American prison system making it a money-making business rather than a system designed to rehabilitate & reform convicts for the greater good of society.
I believe that this explanation is not the entire story but real reason for such a high prison population is something else. I believe that rather like the British penal system was used to help colonial Britain colonise North America & then Australia the United States is preparing to utilise its prison population to colonise space. Millions of prisoners will be used in the future colonisation programs of Mars & elsewhere in the coming decades forming an expendable source of manpower for both US government & private industry. Prisoners will either be forced to colonise space (as minors & in other industries) or will be offered reduced prison terms in exchange for "tours of duty" in space. It will be very similar to how the British colonised Australia through a system of indentured servitude in various penal colonies in Space.
Am I correct? Only time will tell.
