No it doesn't it reflects the number of people convicted of a felony that were then incarcerated in a prison. It does not tell us how many people were convicted of a felony and given probation, nor does it tells us how many people were convicted of a misdemeanor, nor does it tell us how many people committed a crime and were never caught, nor does it tell us how many people were wrongly convicted.
Many of the vapid arguments in your feeble response are impossible to quantify and your conjecture shows only that you are minute in cognitive ability as well as stature, you obese, weeble wooble walking, mush mouthed, portable human tampax.
Here is a study, released in 2005, based on arrest statistics from 1980 - 2003
The study is a combined breakdown of the FBI Uniformed Crime Report (UCR) and National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS):

Among the major findings published in "Race, Crime and Justice in America - The Color of Crime" Second, Expanded Edition:
• Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
Crime Rates
• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder,
and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely
than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
• Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and
Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of
the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving
blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
• Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Fortyfive
percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are
Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are
black.
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against
a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes
against whites than vice versa.
Gangs
• Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
• Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs.
Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration
• Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139
to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39
million.
• Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are
three times more likely
