I live in Australia and have been planning to migrate to the US in the near future. However this article has genuinely made me reconsider.
I knew there was an incarceration problem in the US, but I didn't realise it was this bad.

If you aren't a criminal, you're probably about as likely to be incarcerated in the US as you are to be eaten by a crocodile in Australia. If I were you about be more worried about American crime rates than incarceration rates.

The chance of being eaten by a crocodile in Australia is about 1 in 20m in any given year (a lot less if you stay in the lower 2/3s of the country, essentially zero for > 95% of the population).
The article above indicates that many innocent people in the US are encouraged to plead guilty. I'm inclined to believe the opposite.
