> In Germany are about 1/3 people in prison because they used a train or bus without ticket.

I think this could be read two ways:

> In Germany, 1/3 of the total population is in prison because they used a train or bus without a ticket.

> In Germany, 1/3 of the total prison population is there because they used a train or bus without a ticket.

I suspect you mean the second, just noting that it could be misunderstood. (Please correct me if I'm mistaken!)

It's ambiguous but first interpretation can be ruled out immediately because it can't possibly be true.
