More Than One Out of Every Hundred

Just read where more than one of every hundred adults in The USA is in prison or jail! To me this means we are either a very lawless country or that our laws are to resrictive. 2,319,258 people is a lot of prisoners that we as US citizens are paying for each and every day.
What is the answer? Deport a bunch of them, decrimalize some crimes such as pot etc.? Bring back flogging? While I don't have the answers I know we cannot continue with this trend as it is both expensive and does not seem to be working. Your thoughts?
I do believe that the "Can't we all just get along" idea will not work.
