US prisons house about 0.7% of the population, or about 1.4M people (depending on the source).

The US has about 200,000 CEOs. Not all CxO’s are crooks, but if they were, we could jail all the CEO’s and an average of 6 of each one’s direct reports using our existing prison infrastructure.

I’d wager the average criminal CxO does significantly more ongoing damage to society than the average person in US prisons would if released.
