High numbers to be sure but nothing compared by the 730 the US incarcerates and allows to be exploited by the privatized prison system.

  1. Scary to see New Zealand featuring close to the top.
    Makes me think of this famous quote:
    “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” Ayn Rand.

    • i remember when we used to boycott and stigmatise countries that did not respect human rights
      now the All Blacks are wearing AIG over their hearts
      how have the high and mighty fallen!
