> My main concern in the US is the absurd levels of incarceration over there, often for relatively trivial nonviolent offences that aren’t even crimes in many countries, and the politicisation of the judicial system.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to equate that with many hundreds of thousands of people literally in gaol. I suppose Stalin was right, to paraphrase. One person is a tragedy, hundreds of thousands is a statistic.
