It is largely the poor and uneducated people who go to prison.

They don't just "go to prison", that demographic commits crimes that send them to prison.

And the other demographics commit crimes that don't end up with the justice system^ sending them to prison. They're often the same crime.

^ Crimes don't do anything, of course. It's the people in charge who decide who goes to prison.
