The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts figures some 80,000 defendants are sentenced in federal court each year. In recent years, states have reversed years of steady increases by reducing their prison populations while the number of people held at the federal level has continued to climb. Federal lawmakers and legal experts attribute part of the continuing increase to the rise in criminal offenses and regulations that carry prison time and the creation of laws that don&#8217;t require knowledge of wrongdoing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The overcriminalization of daily life helped provoke me to write<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lost-Rights-Destruction-American-Liberty\/dp\/0312123337\"> Lost Rights <\/a>nearly 20 years ago.
