Actually, once you relate those figures to the intentional homicide rate, then the USA are nothing exceptional, and the slight remaining difference may be explained by their need to be tougher because of their high homicide rate. It rather seems that Russia is lax and likely corrupted.Russian Federation has incarceration rate of 450 per 100,000 population. That is much higher then Australia (152), UK (146), and Canada (114). Russia has 1,820 prisoners serving Life Sentence. Many Russian singers sing about prisoners lives and harsh laws.
USA is The Land of the Free. USA has incarceration rate of 693 per 100,000. There are
159,000 prisoners serving Life Sentence. There are 49,000 prisoners serving Life Without Parole including 2,500 juveniles.
I do not know what to say.
A country where criminality is unpunished is not my definition of freedom.
As I demonstrated, the USA have a similar incarceration rate to other countries once you relate it to intentional homicide rate.But USA has the highest incarceration rate in the World. Russia had incarceration rate as high during Stalin's reign.

The problem is not the US penal system, it is the fact that minorities in the USA are so violent. Which likely has a lot more to do with the toxic cohabitation of multiple identities and the societal cost of laissez-faire.
Prosecution and sentencing of drug crimes in particular is beyond the gulag.

No, you're only considering homicide rate as you admit. HALF of the prisoners in US are convicted of non violent crimes. Prosecution and sentencing of drug crimes in particular is beyond the gulag. As for minorities being violent, other countries don't have such ghettos and unlimited access to guns, and conservatives are largely to blame for both
I have not checked in several years, but 10 to 15 years ago the BOP records showed that just over half the population was in for drug related crimes. Which means that without the drug prohibition, the federal system would be only half what it is today.
The US has led the world in the per capita rate of imprisonment for 25 or 30 years. Back in the time of Aparteid in S. Africa, they used to get close to our per capita rate, but afterwards they are not even close.
The American Gulag thrives.
Putin released the band ***** Riot after about 2 or 3 years in prison. That would never happen in the US.
I do. We are less tolerant of criminal behavior than some countries and have above average numbers and quality in our police departments.
You have people serving life for selling pot. No violence, no kids, no guns, life for selling pot.
It's not a criminal justice system, it's a growing industry.
