Same, except I am in the US. I suspect this is highly stratified by class, such that either nobody you know has been arrested or everybody you know has been arrested.

us does have the highest amount PRISONERS in the world, and incarceration rate. recividism is pretty high, as there is almost non-existent rehabilitation for offendors. also the fact they dont prepare inmates for the outside world years later, when things changed, so its almost impossible to get a job, so they commit another crime just so they stay in prison.

I was reading your comment, trying to decide if you're a liar or just that bougie. Then second paragraph. Most of my friends have been arrested at least once. I've been four times.

It is important here to note that in the US, prison is for sentences over one year and jail is under one year. That is not strictly 100% true but it's good enough to sort out the jail/prison terms problem. I've only been to prison to do some work. It was maximum security for what it's worth, and it was much nicer than any jail I've been too. People acted normally instead of totally fucking unhinged.

I'd rather do a year in prison than six months in jail.
