Does a 700% increase in the number of prisoners (over the last 40 years in the US) sound like a lot? Why or why not?

It sounds like a lot

Explanation:

A 700% increase in the number of prisoners (over the last 40 years in the US) sounds like a lot.

This is because forty years ago which is 1981, the population of the United States was 231,636,058 and in 2021 the population is considered to be 332,915,073. This shows about a 44 percent increase in population.

However, a 700 percent increase in the number of prisoners within that period shows the number of crime rates has increased significantly, and it is well over the percentage of population increase. Therefore, it sounds like a lot.
