WORLD PRISON POPULATIONS
U.S has the highest rates in the world


UK has highest rates in Europe



Half of the world's prison population of about nine million is held in the US, China or Russia.

Prison rates in the US are the world's highest, at 724 people per 100,000. In Russia the rate is 581.

At 145 per 100,000, the imprisonment rate of England and Wales is at about the midpoint worldwide.

Many of the lowest rates are in developing countries, but overcrowding can be a serious problem. Kenyan prisons have an occupancy level of 343.7%

Re: WORLD PRISON POPULATIONS
You know, for years now I have advocated the re-establishment of "Prison Islands". Let the worst of the human prison population fend for themselves on and island suitable for human habitation. We could provode them with nothing except a one-way ticket and if they survive their sentence on this "paradise" bring them home if they earned it...Why should we the citizens of any country be stuck with paying for these men and women that have chosen this criminal way of life?

Re: WORLD PRISON POPULATIONS
Prisons are a eugenics tool, pure and simple. What varies are the users' (power posessors) concept of the "bad".

In America for example, the "bad" is the societal underbelly, made as large as possible through economic and cultural warfare, and through a regime of drug criminalization combined with covert drug supply.

In places like China or Iran, the "bad" is free, developed, independent thought and the courage to behave, act, and speak from it.

Screw that, let's go all out and make Mars a "Prison Planet!" All dangerous inmates would be shuttled to the underground Martian penal colony, where even minor infractions of the law would result in exile to the surface--stark naked.
