Additionally does the map you shared showcase very clearly, that it is among the top incarceration rates worldwide. It is a well known thing in social science, that most prisons within the US lack models to focus on reintegration of prisoners. Prisons are rather criminal highschools, than helping those who need it the most to find a way to live a successful life, with a legal job and a house over the head.
I mean to most people it should be clear, that prisoners are some of the weakest link within society. They are not there for being very social, skilled and useful. So it is kind of obvious they need a lot of training in getting there in order to become a good neighbour after prison.
