That's always an inane argument - the opposite can also be true arbitrarily
That the US is the only country to effectively punish its population the extent that it should - it's the leading country on earth in terms of the amount of Serial killers identified - but that is only because US intelligence gathering and police enabled the capture of the serial killers to begin with - other nations like South Africa have absolutely no competent policing authority to identify the concept of serial killers to begin with, there can be 50 serial killers ongoing in the country at this moment, and absolutely nobody would be aware
The fact that South Africa has only a fraction of the prison population in comparison is not a condemnation of the USA, but an indication to the supreme lack of capacity of the nation to punish its criminal elements. The courts are dysfunctional and corrupt, the prisons are too few, overpopulated and inept, and the crimes of the nation go effectively unpunished overall

It's an r-slured point, the UK has made greater use of crime fighting technologies (used DNA far earlier and more widespread than USA) and didn't get into the quackier of using profiling apart from a short phase, has far more CCTV to draw on, has less legal restraints on the police. Has much more integrated police systems and can concentrate resources far easier unlike the USA with states and a wider geography.
The UK has a lower murder rate and less serial killers.

I don't disagree my point is shaky, but I was just trying to portray the notion that the continual reddit circlejerk of placing reductive one page graphics or graphs to score a generic anti-burgelrand talking point
I'm aware of the imperfections of america, like the corruption of private prisons bribing judges to basically overcharge prisoners and so on - so I give that it's likely the reality that america does in fact have the likely chance of having an overpopulated prison population due to systemic dysfunction or corruption.
But a global comparison in a vacuum with no other commentary other than raw statistics by the premier reddit shitlib commies have always been reductive to the extreme.
SA for example, I would even go so far as to say are so criminally infested, at all tiers of society, that I'd unironically state that as much as fricking 10% of the entire country needs to be put into prison or correctional-facilities, because of the monumental widespread state of crime. Everything from petty theft, to grand automobile theft, to white-collar crime, to political corruption.
If I'd had some genie give me the wish that all destructive criminals in the nation be placed under immediate magical arrest with sufficient prisons to poof out of the air, I'd wager much it would be as much as 10% of the entire nation, even if it would be a monumental figure of 5 million people, I'm aware of the magnitude of 1 out of every 10 people, our society is just that far gone
In the entire Southern Africa, every nation below the equator (Namibia to Mozambique) I can personally speak to the inadequacy of policing and prisons. In SA alone we literally don't even have adequate prison space, and have little plans to expand our existing ones - our prison population is capped by r-sluration compared to the americans,
and there is so much filthy criminals and degenerates in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana which aught to BE in prison this very moment, that it proves little to have US total prison populations be compared to us at the very least. At least a tenth of all Zimbabweans living are guilty for actual genuine genocide against their fellow africans - but they sure as shit are never going to prison - where does that apply in these comparisons.

Yeah, but Americans have more freedom to commit crimes than the bongslave. Americans are also rich, so it makes sense that we'd try to steal from each other.
We have guns and freedom and money: no shit we're gonna behave worse.
