The US likes jailing people.

As of June 2020, the United States had the highest number of
incarcerated individuals worldwide, with more than 2.12 million people
in prison.



Big money to be made by the US legal system.Â* Lots of lawyers, judges
and cops.Â* Not counting every thing else.Â* Cost around $ 30,000 or more
each year just to keep someone locked up.

I think many other countries just execute the guilty ,or make the
punishment so bad that not too many break laws that would land them in
prison.


Concentration camps like in China were not included.Â* There are as many
imprisoned there as in their prisons.Â* You also do not spend years and
years on death row in China.

US is high and one big reason is the 26% illegal aliens in the prisons.

Right. In prison for nothing in most cases, where they could be
productive members of society.
