Ya, but we must not forget that certain crimes, such as corporate fraud are barely punished at all. We can't just look at the prisons. We also need to take a look at who is being admitted to it, for what crime.

And how many lives did scandals like US Foods, Parmalat and Enron ruin?

And to be honest, stealing, even on a daily basis, of a loaf of bread is far less damaging to people and the economy than any of the scandals I mentioned above. One of the Dutch guys who was responsible for the US Foods scandal got fined 250.000 Euros or so, and he was outraged that he had received such a harsh sentence. He did damage to his company of about 10 billion Euros.
