Huh? Are you not aware that the US has capital punishment as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Unit...? Or did you mean that the NK one is "more" deadly?
- sandworm101 10y agoThe chances of death on any given day in US detention are small in comparison to detention in North Korea. A person would probably last longer on US death row (10+ years) than in a NK labor camp. So despite the US love of the death penalty, it;s the far less deadly.
- garrettgrimsley 10y agoWhile that may be the case for citizens of the DPRK the story it is certainly not true for Americans who visit. They are charged and arrested for their crimes, sentenced to a decade or more in prison, and then released and deported within a year or two. It's a story that we've seen play out many times: Kenneth Bae, Matthew Todd Miller, Laura Ling, Euna Lee, Merrill Newman, etc. Nothing new nor interesting, must be a slow news day.
- dominotw 10y agoAmerican prisoners are teated like a royalty and not sent to prison camps with NK citizens. You can read more about this in Kenneth Bae's book 'Not Forgotten: The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea' that he earlier this month.
