Disingenuous.. do you always compare the united states with developing economies for everything ? They are all less than 100 years old as independent countries . with europe or other mature democracies would be better context for normal surely?

Even these countries do not have 25 % world 's incarcerated population.. US legal system has a problem whether you admit it or not


Seeking for "normal", I just took the top 15 most populous countries, representing two-thirds of the entire human race.

Maybe by "normal" you meant "ideal". Or maybe you meant "where I live". But if "normal" means "usual", I think you are wrong.
