Reply #72: Interesting chart

[Bronyraurus]

I wonder what this chart would look like if the US' drug policy was actually sane.

I also wonder if this just means that our police are better. I wonder what the crime rates are like for the other countries compared to ours.

Also, look at the fact that the US' unsentenced prisoners % is on the low end of this spectrum. In the US, that means that these prisoners are in jail for the span of time before they are sentenced, because a US citizen cannot sit in jail unless he is sentenced or a sentence is pending (aside from the 48 hours where he can be put in jail without being charged with a crime). But what does that mean in Kenya, or Mexico, or Turkey? One shudders...
