Let's look at some US Prison statics:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm#data
Thirty-one percent of jail inmates had grown up with a parent or guardian who abused alcohol or drugs

About 12 percent had lived in a foster home or institution.

Forty-six percent had a family member who had been incarcerated.

More than 50% of the women in jail said they had been physically or sexually abused in the past, compared to more than 10% of the men.

Drug offenders, up 37%, represented the largest source of jail population growth between 1996 and 2002.

Half (50%) of convicted jail inmates were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the offense, down from 59% in 1996.

Alcohol use at the time of the offense dropped from 41% (1996) to 35% (2002), while drug use dropped from 35% to 29%.

Nearly two-thirds of the 3.8 million increase in the number of adults ever incarcerated between 1974 and 2001 occurred as a result of an increase in first incarceration rates; one-third occurred as a result of an increase in the number of residents age 18 and older.
