Let's not forget one non-disclosed fact in that chart either.
MANY of those countries listed don't have prison populations because they do with murderers and thieves what the U.S. will not do: they bury them, therefore not spending all kinds of money to house and feed and clothe, and entertain them. Heck, I was seriously thinking about having my own children commit some second or third degree crime so they could go to the State prison and get a free tax payer paid college education. What a gig!
Perhaps if prisons were all run like Sheriff Joe's I and every crook knew that was what they were going to get if caught, I suspect the freaking crime rate would drop like a rock.
Same for Murders and homicides.
Public hangings and executions by firing squad would be cheap and a great deterrent.
Crime rates would go down. Less money needed for prisons, and police forces. Less finance needed for city, state and Federal governments.
No sir, the USA is a SISSY country when it comes to giving a criminal what they deserve or a murderous thug.
I like the model in the middle east and even Russia.
The cost of one single lead bullet or a piece of hemp rope. Pretty cheap and very efficient.
Just my humble opinion. YMMV.
