    The massive increase in incarceration happened in the 80s and 90s.

    I believe the question is asking about the most members of a presidential administration going to jail. Not the general public. RosieG will let  me know if I am misunderstanding the question.

    Nixon had 76 indictments, 55 convictions, and 15 sentences.

    Raw numbers or by a percentage?  The size of the population and the size of presidential administrations have both increased vastly since George Washington's days.
