ANSWER-
Personally, I feel that most judges in modern society are corrupt and purposefully place more people in jail. This is so Americas will have to pay more taxes . Instead of using the tax money on criminals, Judges will use this money to feed their ego and help them live lavish lifestyles, while much of America struggles to make ends meet. Using the graph, we can see the number of people convicted increased hugely , and so did the number of trials. The percent convicted of convicted in both Bench and Jury trials are much higher than those who are Acquitted.Though there are some faults in the Jury System, I think America should also be using the money that they spend on personal wants, and use the money for better education systems, and harsher punishments for crimes, so the number of crimes committed with decrease, with fear that people will be put into prison.
This is my opinion,but you can elaborate and edit your answer using this.
HOPE THIS HELPS GOOD LUCK.
