And I'm asking if they believe that one criteria weighs more heavily than all the others.
That's putting aside the question of whether the US is really the worst prison system in the world, ie, granting that point for the sake of argument, though I strongly disagree with it. If I had to go to prison somewhere, the US would rank below a few but above most countries.

You and executesorder66 are arguing against a strawman. The claim wasn't that the US is perfect. Obviously that claim would be easy to refute.
