How many of them are for halfassed pseudocrimes such as tax evasion,
drug use, whoring, gambling or ignoring silly bureaucratic BS? Or dumb
"three strikes" laws?

Directly that crowds the bad guys out of the jails. Indirectly, it
undermines the perception that the law is run by and for the good guys,
and it encorages a childish reactance by treating adults as children.

"Harsh punishment" is about the only thing you can't blame it on, in the
land of the Plea Bargain.
