I'm not sure that's entirely fair, as it doesn't address the posible disparity of sentencing for an existing crime. A specific action punishable by a year in prison in my home country might be punished with a decade in another; the conditions of my home country's prison might not be the same as in a foreign country, etc. If I had to serve a one year sentence where I live for something I consider moral I wouldn't be too bothered (not that I'd welcome it of course), but serving a year in an American prison is a terrifying thought.
