I haven't any idea what the ration between "serious" and "minor" crime 
conviction rates are (and how would you be able to give a realistic 
assessment of that?), but I don't think that's the implication here. We lock 
up too many people because too many people are guilty, not because there's 
too many innocent people being locked up.
