Currently, the Us makes up 5% of the world population, but 25% of the prison population.
In 1970, there were 400,000 people in jail. Now its 1.5 million.
How can we get this number back to a reasonable level?

Well, there is the simple Holder/Obama method of simply not choosing to enforce certain laws. However once an administration goes there, I don't see that door being shut to future selective enforcement. Also, I think they need to evaluate on a case by case basis on who to release instead of just original convictions. They might need to consider activities while incarcerated and any associations that were formed there.
The common sense way would be to revisit lower level criminal laws and their associated mandatory sentencing. A simplistic example would be a thief that stole an amount from a business, make restitution to the business/parole/electronic monitoring instead of a mandatory jail term for non-violent offenders. For the record, I do not know the penal code for theft and I do not know if it carries a mandatory jail sentence.
Don't be so difficult. Here's a 2-minute video showing how simple it can be.

Stop punishing people for certain victimless crimes. I agree with DP regarding Boys and Girls clubs and places like that. Find a way to stop the erosion of the family. How many of those prisoners have good dads? Inner cities have big problems with dads not being around for their children.
Firing squads. Next!
The state is unable to stop the erosion of the family. The institutions that can are currently in an awkward position with the state due to the ACA.
Close the border and stop the drugs.
The welfare state, which is totally the responsibility of the state, is causing most of this so eliminating the welfare state would help with the erosion of the family. The Democrats are the minorities worst enemy and they don't even know it.
Build a huge wall around Detroit. I was going to say New York City, but since Detroit is going under anyway and is a nice sized city, it'll do. But anyway, build a huge wall about 100 feet high around Detroit, then you clear out all the residents and whatever weapons are available, and you make that a maximum security prison where you put all your hardcore criminals to serve their time. You know. The lifers. Nobody goes in but criminals. Then, in the event there are some in there that are granted parole, you find them by their tracking device and extricate them. If something happens that causes the Presidents' helicopter to go down in the middle of the prison city, you send in Snake Plithken to retract him.
The "Great Society" package and all that followed have not worked. What they have done is formed a flock of sheeple who can't recognize the problems facing them. Actually there is now a second flock of sheeple who blindly follow the GOP.
The numbers will only get worse.
Nah. He belongs in that environment.

In June of 2013, a jury convicted a 26-year-old Portland pimp of second-degree assault for repeatedly stomping the face of a john who was attempting to leave without paying a prostitute in his stable. Sirgiorgiro Clardy was wearing Jordans during the assault which resulted in the john requiring stitches and plastic surgery on his nose. Jurors determined the Jordans were used as a dangerous weapon. They also found Clardy guilty of robbing the john and beating the 18-year-old prostitute so badly she bled from her ears. Both offenses netted the pimp a 100 year prison sentence.
But now Clardy has filed a law suit against Nike, claiming the shoe manufacturer is partially complicit in the beating of the john because they did not affix a label on the Jordans warning that they could be used as a dangerous weapon. Clardy therefore asserts Nike contributed to his 100 year sentence.
In the three-page complaint he wrote by hand from inside the walls of the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton, Clardy claims that Nike, Chairman Phil Knight and other executives failed to warn consumers that the shoes could be used as a weapon to cause serious injury or death..
The complaint reads: "Under product liability there is a certain standard of care that is required to be up-held by potentially dangerous product ..."Do (sic) to the fact that these defendants named in this Tort claim failed to warn of risk or to provide an adequate warning or instruction it has caused him personal injury in the likes of mental suffering."
He also wrote in the complaint that he's tried to starve himself and attempted suicide multiple times. In the complaint, he asks the judge to order Nike to place warning labels on all their "potentially dangerous Nike and Jordan merchandise."
Clardy filed his suit this week in Multnomah County Circuit Court. In the coming days, Nike will be served with the suit, at which time they will have the opportunity to respond.
During his two-week trial and two-day sentencing hearing, Clardy shouted expletives at the judge, prosecutors and jurors. A psychologist declared him an anti-social psychopath who was 100 percent likely to commit violent crimes again. Upon hearing that proclamation, Clardy made such a scene, he was removed from the courtroom.
Clardy is representing himself in the matter of the lawsuit.
