This is amazing. The U.S. has more prisoners than any other country in the world.

By comparison, China, (which has over 1.2 billion people to the U.S.'s 300 million), has 1.6 million prisoners vs. 2.3 million for the U.S.
Combine this w/ the # of executions that the U.S. is responsible for and it sure doesn't sound like we are the "land of the free".
