In Germany out of 80 Million citizens 80,000 are in jail. This number makes 0.1% of the whole population
In the US out of 300 Million citizens, 2 millions which is 0.7% are in jail.
In other words the jailed-ratio is 7:1 “in favor” of the US. I wonder why?
As a matter of fact I don’t wonder because I think that I do know the answer.
It should be obvious - the U.S. has stricter and more enforced laws regarding drugs. Also, higher rates of violent crime exist in the US, so we have more violent criminals to lock up.
