See? This makes it look like it's as misleading as I said. This is prisoners per 100.000, that means it doesn't matter how populous a state or country is. That's exactly why comparing states with countries is misleading. For every state that has a higher number than the US average there's states that have a lower number.
Yes but that doesn't really say much. We know it's bad in the US. If all German states were bad that would still only tell you that in average it's bad in Germany
I thought that was because of more efficient arm instructions
