We Imprison a Lot of People

AIG Busted had a post on a Montana fossil hunter facing 10 years in prison for digging in remote areas people couldn't care less about. I guess he didn't get the proper paper work from our nanny state government officials. This reminds me of a couple of graphs I recently saw. I understand that China, with 4x the population of the United States, has only 500,000 people in prison.
