To a first approximation, incarceration rate is equal to rate of crimes times percent reported to police times percent of solved cases times prosecution rate times sentence length.

Some of these are bad things, some of these are good, and the last one is ugly.

Starting at the beginning of your equation, is what constitutes a "crime" not defined by the legal system to begin with? Perhaps the US has run wild with their definitions and militaristic enforcement of crimes
