How you could say that is an order of magnitude????? The US has an order of magnitude more people! Using your numbers and Google's population estimates, 8 per 1000 people in NK are prisoners, while 7 per 1000 people in the US are prisoners.
Furthermore, in NK prison camps execution--including child execution--is commonplace. Maybe that will give you a clue as to why their prison population isn't higher.
Grow a brain.
The wars that the US have been waging are fucked up, I agree, but we're talking about the way a country treats its own people.
I don't think the US is perfect, and I readily admit that it has a shameful level of police brutality, but NK is a completely different ballgame.
Non-police brutality in the US is still a much bigger problem than police brutality.
I'm disappointed at the level of your response.
