  Thanks for the updated stats! Did you see the graph of the Seychelles since 2006? What's going on there? EDIT: I hate to post links from the UK Daily Mail but they have an article on this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2219618/Will-Thurbin-Our-man-Seychelles-whos-locking-pirates-Indian-Ocean.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2219618/Will... EDIT 2: From http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/feb/23/john-legend/fact-checking-john-legends-claim-we-live-most-inca/ http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/feb/23/... : ""I think countries that small are just not comparable," Wagner said, adding that his group’s 2014 States of Incarceration report filtered out countries with less than a half-million residents." ... "Only Seychelles technically has a higher incarceration rate than the United States. But experts said it’s an outlier because of its miniscule size and largely should be disregarded."
