Hello,
That is a very good question. We would have to look at all who are in jail, all who are on probation, all who are awaiting their trials in jail, all who are jailed at home electronically. and then you have to ask, many felons loose their "rights" once convicted. Loosing one's rights is the same thing "as being under control".
It disappointments me to say but the US prison population is only going to increase disproportionately to the population.
Also, we are all pretty much under the control of the police. Try reasoning with them and see how far you get.

6.6 million
The U.S. now has the largest prison system in the world and its impact influences the social, economic and political life of all regions and sectors in the U.S. Along with the United States’ 2.1 million people behind bars, 2.2 million individuals are now employed in policing, corrections and courts, overshadowing the 1.7 million Americans employed in higher education, and the 600,000 employed in public welfare. With 6.6 million people in prison and jail, or on probation and parole, there are now 8.8 million people either under the control of the correctional system or working in the criminal justice sector in the U.S.
