A
note from bakherad blogpost:
Considering
the population of each country, number of imprisoned persons should have been
measured as a percentage of population, as follows:
8)
India= 0.0396%
7)
Indonesia= 0.1006%
6)
China= 0.1199%
5)
Russia= 0.3073%
4)
Turkey= 0.3700%
3)
Brazil= 0.3905%
2)
Thailand= 0.3966%
1)
USA= 0.5046%
Therefore,
India stands at number 8, China stands at number 6, and the United States
stands at number one, far higher than the other seven nations.
