World Prison Population 2011 | Harm Reduction International
The USA...has the highest prison population rate in the world, 743 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Rwanda (c. 595), Russia (568), Georgia (547), U.S. Virgin Is. (539), Seychelles (507), St Kitts & Nevis (495), British Virgin Is. (468), Belize (439), Dominica (431), Bermuda (428), Grenada (423) and Curacao (422).
Also Belize! Dude!
But with the exception of Bernie Madoff (scheduled date of release: 11-14-2139), who made the unpardonable error of actually ripping off rich people, and a UBS whistleblower (yes, whistleblower!) named Bradley Birkenfeld, who made the upardonable error of ratting out rich people, there are virtually no big banker-investor-con-artist Wall Street types among the 2.3 million prisoners held in the US, and virtually none of the politicians who love them, either.
This does not pass the smell test.
