Pretty clear the crack epidemic and the subsequent war on drugs lead to the explosion.
From 1960-1980 there was a lot of drug use but not that big a jump in jail/prison. It may be because the drugs I saw happening back then were not strongly addictive. There was stuff like marijuana, LSD, speed and downers. No crack or meth. Heroin was around but not widely popular because you had to inject it.
